In this study, we conducted a metagenomic analysis of bacterial communities from oil contaminated soils via high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The results were analyzed for correlations with environmental factors and spatial distances. Samples were obtained from petroleum contaminated surface soils around five oil refineries in the Shaanxi Province of China. Our main goal was to investigate the biogeographic pattern and biodiversity of soil bacterial communities in fields with a long history of oil contamination.
