Comparative metagenomic analysis of 16S RNA amplicon sequencing of bacterial population of an industrial site contaminated with halogenated anilines

Abstract

Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial communities in three soil samples from contaminated soils with halogenated anilines and empty soil (serving as control) in Lagos state, Nigeria. BNE, BLB, and BLC had unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of 160, 1,797, and 4,815, respectively. Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla across all samples.
