Characterisation of the bacterial microbiota of a landfill-contaminated confined aquifer undergoing intrinsic remediation
Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Alfsnes, Kristian; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Literature on microbiomes of landfill leachate-contaminated aquifers is scarce despite groundwater contaminations from landfills being common globally. In this study, a combination of microbiological techniques was applied ... -

Spatiotemporal and seasonal dynamics in the microbial communities of a landfill-leachate contaminated aquifer
Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Alfsnes, Kristian; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The microbiome of an aquifer contaminated by landfill leachate and undergoing intrinsic remediation was characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding. The archaeal/bacterial V3–V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was ...
