Currently studying the microbial diversity of a site located in the Parys mountain, Anglesey. This site contains three pools with a pH of around 2.20 in which acidophilic microorganims are most likely growing however this site has never been studied before. A number of sets of enrichments have been set up for both aerobic and anaerobic cultures. By setting up a range of enrichments we hope to be able describe harder to detect microorganisms such as the nano-sized archaea Micrarchaeota.
