UBA acid mine drainage site metagenome
Samples of pink biofilm and associated acid mine drainage were collected from the Richmond Mine, Iron Mountain, CA, from the Ultra Back A (UBA) site in June 2005.  Iron Mountain is located at 40 deg 40' 38.42'' N and 122 deg 31' 19.90'' W (elevation ~ 3,100 ft). The UBA biofilm was subaerial, collected from the base of a ~2 m high pile of pyrite sediment over which pH 1.1, 41 deg C acid mine drainage solution was flowing.  The first version of this project has a partial genome of Leptospirillum rubarum that dominates this biofilm (Genome Project <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=bioproject&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Overview&list_uids=18795"> 18795</a>). A second partial genome from Leptospirillum ferrodiazotrophum is present in Genome Project <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=bioproject&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Overview&list_uids=37907"> 37907</a>.   The WGS project and sequences deposited into the Trace Archive can be found using the Project data link.
