Hydrocarbon polluted soil microbiomes from an artisanal refining site Raw sequence reads

Hydrocarbon pollution amplified by artisanal refining has led to the devastating destruction of farmlands and fishing settlements of subsistence farmers in the Niger Delta. In this study, we investigate microbial response to the long-term presence of hydrocarbons in an artisanal refining site and also studied the response of the microbial communities to nutrient amendment and intermittent tillage.
