title: Transect D 2.0 Bacteria duplicate 2
organism: uncultured marine bacterium
description: Gove Harbour, Melville Bay, Northern Territory, Australia. Map co-ordinates E683000 S8648500. Coastal marine sediment collected up to 10cm depth with a Van Veen sediment grab. Sediment was anoxic, with Eh readings consistently below -100meV. Neutral pH, very fine particles, organic carbon content 0.9 - 1.5%. Total DNA was extracted from sediment and PCR amplified using primers specific for bacterial 16S rRNA.
