Microbial community analyses of groundwater collected during an enhanced bioremediation experiment of trichlorethylene in a fractured rock aquifer, West Trenton, NJ (2008-2015)

These datasets contain the 16S rRNA sequences of groundwater samples collected at the in situ bioaugmentation site located in the aquifer beneath the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), West Trenton, NJ. Biological samples from the groundwater were collected from monitoring wells at the study site from July 2008 through July 2015. Sample collection coincided with a groundwater bioremediation experiment investigating the microbial degradation of the contaminant trichloroethylene (TCE) prevalent in the targeted region of the aquifer. A microbial consortium, commercially developed to stimulate TCE degradation, was introduced to the contaminated groundwater on October 15, 2008.
