Unveiling organohalide respiration potential in River Nile sediments via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of endogenous bacterial communities

Unveiling organohalide respiration potential in River Nile sediments via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of endogenous bacterial communities

Abstract Background Industrial waste, agricultural runoff and untreated sewage contaminate the Nile, leaving a toxic legacy in its sediments. Organohalides-polluted sediment in particular poses serious public health risks and detrimental effects on aquatic life. Sediment microbiomes may harbor bacte...
