title: Inner Harbour 6 Bacteria duplicate 2
organism: uncultured marine bacterium
description: Gove Harbour, Melville Bay, Northern Territory, Australia. Map co-ordinates E683200 S8651170. Coastal marine sediment collected up to 10cm depth with a Van Veen sediment grab. Sediment was sulfidic and anoxic, with Eh readings consistently below -250meV. Neutral pH, very fine particles, organic carbon content 1.7 - 2.0%. Contains heavy metals. Total DNA was extracted from sediment and PCR amplified using primers specific for bacterial 16S rRNA.
