Abstract
AbstractThe continental bedrock contains groundwater-bearing fractures that are home to microbial populations that are vital in mediating the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. However, their diversity is poorly understood due to the difficulty of obtaining samples from this environment. Here, a groundwater-bearing fracture at 975 m depth was isolated by employing packers in order to characterize the microbial community via metagenomes combined with prokaryotic and eukaryotic marker genes (16S and 1
