Next Generation Sequencing – Remediation White Paper

Summary:

This white paper explains how next‑generation sequencing (NGS) is used to characterize subsurface microbial communities and assess biodegradation processes at contaminated groundwater sites. By integrating NGS with qPCR, the approach provides powerful lines of evidence to support monitored natural attenuation (MNA), evaluate remediation performance, and inform data‑driven site management decisions.
