Conclusions

Potential for 3 new groups (phyla) of Bacteria!!Something is happening with N!!Community shift pre- verses packed- drill

holes.Surprising diversity for a subsurface.Low abundance of both Archaea and Eucarya!Publish?

Henderson, New Drill Core

Plan, to drill a core into the HUSEP facility area

For some portion of that:– Take a segment for biological consideration

• Sterile? BEADS + Tracer• Core collection--on site• Core sample sections to Socorro, CSM, CU

– Continue drilling to depth
