Microbial diversity in wastewater treatment systems and mine water environments in Australia.
This project characterises microbial communities in wastewater treatment ponds and mine water voids across Western Australia and Queensland. Using PacBio long-read sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA genes, it captures both prokaryotic and eukaryotic diversity. The data support improved understanding of microbial composition and function in industrial water systems, with relevance to water quality and bioremediation.
