Interface-associated microbial growth in anoxic pressure vessels containing compacted gapfill bentonite
Although culturable SRB increased for several outer layer pressure vessel samples, abundances remained relatively low and did not increase beyond the values measured at the 1-month timepoint. Overall, a minimum dry density of 1.45 g cm-3 limited microbial growth in inner layer bentonite samples.
