New microbiological insights from the Bowland shale highlight heterogeneity of the hydraulically fractured shale microbiome
Abstract Background Hydraulically fractured shales offer a window into the deep biosphere, where hydraulic fracturing creates new microbial ecosystems kilometers beneath the surface of the Earth. Studying the microbial communities from flowback fluids that are assumed to inhabit these environments p...
