| characterization of methanogenic and methanotrophic assemblages in landfill samples. | a greater understanding of the tightly linked trophic groups of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria residing in municipal solid waste landfills will increase our ability to control methane emissions and pollutant fate in these environments. to this end, we characterized the composition of methanogenic and methanotrophic bacteria in samples taken from two regions of a municipal solid waste landfill that varied in age. a method combining polymerase chain reaction amplification, restriction fragment len ... | 2003 | 14667383 |
