Chapter 4. Robustness of coal microbial community after nutrient amendment
inorganic and residual pollution in the form of heavy metals and sulfur compounds. From our microbial food web analysis coupled to the functional output of the nutrient and acetate amended coal well, it is apparent that it is not straightforward to link metabolic potentials to a system output. More in situ data on microbial activity, functioning and nutrient cycling are required to understand and overcome bottlenecks in the biomethanation process from coal.
