This study was carried out to studied the soil microbial community at Ranger Uranium Mine Land Application Areas using culture independent pyrosequencing to identify and compare the bacteria associate
Data of environmental factors, and of bacterial and fungal communities. Two alternative files are available for the R code: the "R code.txt" file and the "Communications biology-fig2 and 5.zip" file.
Soil aggregates are spatial entities in which the likelihood of interactions between the microorganisms is higher than at larger scales. In this study, soil columns were used to grow two genotypes of
