Unveiling Microbial Insights: The Power of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Today, we’re diving into the realm of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), a cutting-edge technique that has revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities. NGS is transforming the field of microbiology and shedding light on intricate processes like Environmental Remediation (ER) and Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC). NGS…
– This case study shows how NGS revealed diverse microbial communities and the presence of microbial groups commonly implicated in MIC, including SRB, methanogens and acetogens.
• A pilot study was conducted at a site where electron donor was injected into groundwater impacted by a mixture of chlorinated solvents.
• QuantArray®-Chlor and NGS provided complimentary evidence of both biotic and abiotic reductive dechlorination in response to the injection of the electron donor giving the client confidence in this remediation strategy expanding electron donor injection to the entire site.
