RDX degrading microbial communities from a navy installation site in Virginia
Soil samples collected from a navy installation site in Virginia was used to obtain RDX degrading microbial community and was studied using Stable Isotope Probing technique. The experiment involved the soil samples being subjected to either labeled or unlabeled RDX with or without glucose addition. The samples from these treatments were subject to high throughput amplicon sequencing after RDX removal. The initial soil sample was also subject to high throughput amplicon sequencing.
