depth resolved crude oil spill aquifer and wetland sediments
The purpose of this study was to characterize the microbial functional and structural diversity with depth across representative redox zones of a hydrocarbon plume, and an adjacent uncontaminated wetland, at the Bemidji Oil Spill site.  A combination of quantitative PCR, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, and pyrosequencing were applied to vertically sampled sediment cores.
