Soil and water from an agricultural field Targeted Locus (Loci)
Natural soil bacteria selectively transported by seepage water are revealed to resemble root-associated microbiota. Mechanisms of mobilisation and transport appear related to preferential flow. Mobilised bacterial biomass carbon represents only a minor contribution to overall organic carbon flux.  Bacterial 16S rRNA gene pyrotags from depth resolved soil and seepage water samples from a maize field near Göttingen, Germany. Sampled in January 2010.
