Bacterial Biomarkers of Marcellus Shale Activity in Pennsylvania

Bacterial Biomarkers of Marcellus Shale Activity in Pennsylvania

Unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is becoming more prevalent with the increasing use and demand for natural gas; however, the full extent of its environmental impacts is still unknown. Here we measured physicochemical properties and bacterial community...
