Reservoir microbial communities (PRJCA047381)
To comprehensively understand the composition, ecological processes, and metabolism of microbial ecosystems in deep subsurface reservoirs, we employed integrated shotgun metagenomics and full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to systematically investigate microbial communities in oil, natural gas, and salt cavern reservoirs. Our study can expand the knowledge of deep subsurface microbiomes and provide a foundation for strategic microbial management.
