Alkaline sodic soil metagenome

The metagenomic DNA was isolated from the microbial consortium in oil-polluted soils and sequenced with Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform. We investigated the microbial community composition and the metabolic diversity with the aim to reveal the metabolic power of soil metagenome and provide alternative genetic reservoir for applications in bioremediation.

本研究从石油污染土壤的微生物群落（microbial consortium）中分离宏基因组DNA（metagenomic DNA），并依托Illumina高通量测序平台（Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform）完成测序。本研究对该微生物群落的组成与代谢多样性进行探究，旨在揭示土壤宏基因组的代谢功能潜力，并为生物修复（bioremediation）相关应用提供备选遗传资源库。
