Anoxic microcosm sediment (Keri Lake) - Raw sequence reads. Anoxic microcosm sediment (Keri Lake)

The competition between sulfate reducers and other microbiome members after sulfate addition was studied in two different sediments: a non-exposed and a highly-exposed to asphalt. Anoxic microcosms were prepared by mixing the sediments with seawater medium with or without sulfate. The impact of sulfate on the potential, activity and structure of total microbial communities, sulfate reducers and methanogens was investigated.
