Microbial communities in a field scale denitrifying woodchip bioreactor
A denitrifying woodchip bioreactor treating leachate from a waste rock pile at a mining site was studied between 2018 and 2020. To explore the development of the microbial communities over time and spatially in the woodchips and water in the bioreactor, amplicon sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was done.
