16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing via NGS for Microbial Profiling of Desalination Evaporation Ponds

This project focuses on analyzing the microbial communities in desalination evaporation ponds using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and next-generation sequencing (NGS). By profiling the diversity and abundance of bacteria and archaea, the study aims to understand the ecological impact of salinity and oil pollution on microbial populations, providing insights into bioremediation potential and ecosystem restoration strategies.
