title: Transect D 5.0 Bacteria duplicate 2
organism: uncultured marine bacterium
description: Gove Harbour, Melville Bay, Northern Territory, Australia. Map co-ordinates E683000 S8645500. Coastal marine sediment collected up to 10cm depth with a Van Veen sediment grab. Sediment was moderatetly anoxic to oxic, with Eh readings frequently between -150meV and -100meV. Neutral pH, sandy particles, organic carbon content 0.2 - 0.6%. Total DNA was extracted from sediment and PCR amplified using primers specific for bacterial 16S rRNA.
