| The purpose of this research was to characterize the structure and composition of bacterial communities in sandy loam and silty clay soils amended with 30% spent sand from iron, aluminum, and steel foundries. All spent foundry sand (SFS) blends were grown with or without perennial ryegrass and samples were collected at 4 weeks and 6 months. Regions of the 16S rRNA gene were amplified using PCR and subsequently analyzed by DGGE and sequenced for bacterial identification and phylogenetic classification. Cluster analyses of PCR-DGGE banding patterns revealed that SFS blends from week 4 and month 6 produced unique clusters, with most ryegrass treatments clustering away from those without ryegrass. The diversity of the bacterial community revealed that it... |
