groundwater metagenome Raw sequence reads
The long-term efficacy of bioaugmentation depends largely on the persistence and proliferation of introduced functional populations within native microbial communities. To assess the survival and colonization capacity of exogenous Trichlorobacter in real groundwater environments, both relative and absolute abundances were quantified across microcosms.Quantitative PCR analysis further revealed variation in the absolute abundances of Trichlorobacter across treatments .
