Soil community for preservation Metagenome. soil metagenome

Soil was stored at three temperatures over two weeks to determine the most appropriate method for preserving the soil microbiome. Soil was collected from the mineral soil surface to a depth of ~6 inches underneath a native riparian California bay tree at California Polytechnic State University (N 35° 18' 46.59'', W 120° 39' 7.26''). There was substantial organic matter buildup in this soil, but it is serpentinite in nature with low calcium and high magnesium content.

为确定最适宜的土壤微生物组（soil microbiome）保存方法，本研究将土壤样品在三种温度下储存为期两周。土壤样品采自加州州立理工大学（California Polytechnic State University）内一株本土河岸加州月桂树下的矿质土壤表层，采样深度约6英寸，采样坐标为北纬35°18′46.59″、西经120°39′7.26″。该土壤有机质富集，但其母质为蛇纹岩（serpentinite），具有低钙高镁的特征。
