Shotgun metagenomics analysis indicates <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> spp. as the predominant genera for heavy metal resistance and bioremediation in a long-term heavy metal-contaminated ecosystem
Ten soil cores were collected from the long-term heavy metal-contaminated Savannah River Site (SRS) and studied using shotgun metagenomics. In-line with our previous reports, <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> spp. dominated the SRS soils, and thus we recommend that SRS bioremediation studies target the <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> genus.
