Abstract excerpt
A borehole core from 20 m depth of a Japanese landfill was characterized chemically and microbially. The borehole core sample was typically divided into 5 waste layers; 2.4-4.0 m, 5.7-8.5 m, 9.25-9.6 m, 9.77-14.9 m, and 15.9-17.86 m depths. The waste layers' ages spanned about 14 years between the bottom and top. Archaeal 16S rRNA gene and eubacterial 16S rRNA gene in the waste samples at their respective levels...
