Project name: mine drainage metagenome strain:black sample

Description: The Soudan Mine is an old iron mine located in Minnesota (47.819307, -92.242595). It is the deepest mine in the US and is now a physics and experimental site. This sample was collected March 31, 2005, from 'black' reduced sediments growing in water seeping into the mine. The water in the borehole at this location has a pH of 6.70 and contained 5.8 X 105 microbes per mL.
