a

—, no data available.

b

Values represent site data at the time of sample collection (34; David Watson, personal communication).

c

BDL, below detection limit (indicates that no fluorescence signal was detected above the background).

d

Ranges of values represent samples from multiple homogenized soil core depth intervals for a single borehole.

e

Value measured in groundwater collected from an adjacent monitoring well in 2004 (http://public.ornl.gov).

f

Only a single depth interval contained a quantifiable number of Anaeromyxobacter 16S rRNA gene sequences.

g

Microcosms were established by Petrie et al. (33) from site materials collected in 2001.
