16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of bacterial communities in Solid Waste Leachates (SWL) from Olusosun Dumpsite, Ojota, Lagos State, Nigeria
Abstract
Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial community structure of solid waste leachates from Olusosun dumpsite. Acidobacteria (14.65 %) was the most abundant phylum with clear affiliations. This was followed by Planctomycetes (7. 15 %), Proteobacteria (3.28 %), Chloroflexi (1.41 %), Actinobacteria (0.91 %) and other phyla (0.96 %). Data obtained provides valuable insight into potential strategies for waste management.
