Biogeochemical Cycling by a Low-Diversity Microbial Community in Deep Groundwater

Biogeochemical Cycling by a Low-Diversity Microbial Community in Deep Groundwater

Olkiluoto, an island on the south-west coast of Finland, will host a deep geological repository for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Microbially induced corrosion from the generation of sulphide is therefore a concern as it could potentially compromise the longevity of the copper waste canisters....
