Red and Black Samples Are Different Cloned and 454 sequenced 16S are indistinguishable Black stuff Red Cloned Red
There are different amounts of substrates in each environment Black Stuff Red Stuff
There are different amounts of metabolism in each environment
Nitrification differentiates the samples Edwards (2006)
