Metagenomic analysis of microbial diversity in landfill lysimeter soil of Ghazipur landfill site, New Delhi, India

Abstract

We report the soil microbial diversity and functional aspects related to degradation of recalcitrant compounds, determined using a metagenomic approach, in a landfill lysimeter prepared with soil from Ghazipur landfill site, New Delhi, India. Metagenomic analysis revealed the presence and functional diversity of complex microbial communities responsible for waste degradation.
