JHARIA COALMINE Metagenome
Jharia has a century old history of underground mine fire. Amplicon sequences of two opencast coal mines, Tasra and Bera Colliery, were done. Tasra is already abandoned with no anthropogenic reclamation process whereas Bera is an active mine. Samples from Tasra were collected 4 times at an interval of 1 year, whereas in Bera, samples were collected using boreholes, upto 2 m depth.
