The Science: Researchers conducted analyses of microbial communities in laboratory-scale bioreactors breaking down contaminated wastewater from gold ore processing. The Impact: In this “first application of genome-resolved metagenomics” to characterize bioreactors involved in gold ore processing, the data reveal how the bioreactors utilize available… [Read More]
