title: Transect C 0.25 Bacteria duplicate 1
organism: uncultured marine bacterium
description: Gove Harbour, Melville Bay, Northern Territory, Australia. Map co-ordinates E683250 S8650080. Coastal marine sediment collected up to 10cm depth with a Van Veen sediment grab. Sediment was sulfidic and anoxic, with Eh readings consistently below -200meV. Neutral pH, very fine particles, organic carbon content 1.1 - 1.6%. Total DNA was extracted from sediment and PCR amplified using primers specific for bacterial 16S rRNA.
