Microbial degradation of chemicals in aquifers of the Limestone Coast, SA
This study aims to demonstrate the potential for microbial degradation of fluids and chemicals used by the onshore gas industry across the Tertiary Limestone Aquifer (TLA) in the Limestone Coast region of south east South Australia.
The project will establish microbial community baselines in the Tertiary Limestone Aquifer. It will also examine microbial degradation in aquifer water samples of a range of chemicals likely to be used in onshore gas activities.
