Analysis of the bacterial community from high alkaline (pH > 13) drainage water at a brown mud disposal site near Žiar nad Hronom (Banská Bystrica region, Slovakia) using 454 pyrosequencing
Abstract:Brown mud, as a waste product of the industrial process of aluminum production, represents a great environmental burden due to its toxicity to living organisms. However, some microorganisms are able to survive in this habitat, and they can be used in bioremediation processes. Traditional cultivation methods have a limited capacity to characterize bacterial composition in environmental samples. Recently, next-generation sequencing methods have provided new perspectives on microbial community studies. The aim of… Show more
“…The authors concluded that despite BR being less diverse than natural analogues, it has harbored substantial novel bacterial taxa, with 90% of OTUs non-matchable to cultured representative sequences. [31] analysed the bacterial community from a sample of a drainage water reservoir collected at the highly alkaline (pH 13) brown mud disposal site in the Banská Bystrica region, Slovakia. They identified 85 genera of 10 bacterial phyla.…”
