2 In this work, we characterized the metagenome of a Malaysian mangrove soil sample via next 3 generation sequencing (NGS). Shotgun NGS data analysis revealed high diversity of microbes 4 from Bacteria and Archaea domains. The metabolic potential of the metagenome was 5 reconstructed using the NGS data and the SEED classification in MEGAN shows abundance of 6 virulence factor genes, implying th...

This study concerned a stretch of 17 km of a 94-km highway alignment in Southeastern Nigeria that has a high incidence of pavement failure arising from subgrade failure. The subgrade of this section of the roadway is composed of Ekenkpon shale, New Netim marl, and Nkporo shale. Under the Unified Soil Classification System, the shales classify as OH (organic clay) and the marl classifies as MH (...
