Comparative metagenomic analysis of soil microbial communities across three hexachlorocyclohexane contamination levels.

This paper presents the characterization of the microbial community responsible for the in-situ bioremediation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Microbial community structure and function was analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing methods for three sets of soil samples. Th...
