Influence of various contamination sources on the Community composition of a hydrocarbon-degrading microbial consortium.

This project seeks to evaluate how contamination can influence the growth of a bacterial community. These experiments will be performed using small scale bioreactors in a lab setting, where 1 contamination source can be evaluated at a time. The results of these experiments will be evaluated by using 16s Amplicon sequencing to determine which bacterial species are present at the end of the experiment. We will be able to compare these results to the community grown in the sterile conditions to see how the community changed in the presence of contamination.
