Metagenome assembly and binning allow analyzing microbial diversty in groundwater of an artesian borehole in an hard rock aquifer (Guidel Critical Zone Observatory, OZCAR Research Infrastructure).. Bin-Hard

We applied metagenome sequencing coupled to assembly and binning of metagenomic reads to extract draft genomes of bacteria inhabiting an artesian borehole drilled in an hard rock aquifer and characterized by a massive iron-rich microbial mat development.
