Functional description of microbial communities  from biochemical passive reactors treating synthetic Acide Mine Drainage
Technical and Administrative Supervisor: Prof. Fabio Roldán - Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá-Colombia). This study aims to stablish the link between the dynamics of microbial communities with the stability of process and functions of biochemical passive bioreactors for AMD-bioremediation. Dynamics of microbial communities can be simulated at different resolutions, depending on the approximation used to define the interacting units, here we are going to describe the bioreactors microbiome through two of the most common approaches: (1) using 16S rRNA gene data to simulate the dynamics of microbial communities in terms of interactions between taxa; and (2) using the whole metagenome sequencing  to characterize the whole community as a supra-organism performing various functions.
