Bacterial communities associated with solid waste leachates (SWL) at Olusosun and Oke-Afa dumpsites in Lagos State, Nigeria
Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate bacterial community profiles at Olusosun and Oke-Afa dumpsites. The Olusosun and Oke-Afa dumpsites had 305 and 306 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) detected, respectively, while the Olusosun control site had 233 OTUs detected. <i>Firmicutes</i> are the major phylum in all samples. This study reveals highly diverse bacteria communities at dumpsites with potential for bioprospecting for better waste control.
