Microbial enrichment experiments (unsuccessful) from core samples SSK111460 and SSK111461 from UKGEOS Glasgow Observatory, borehole GGC01

Loan IDA number - IDA271576. No data was obtained for microbial cultivation experiments with core samples SSK111460 and SSK111461 from UKGEOS Glasgow Observatory, borehole GGC01. Samples and data are derived from the UK Geoenergy Observatories Programme funded by the UKRI Natural Environment Research Council and delivered by the British Geological Survey. Attached document described methodology of enriching sandstone core (SSK111461) in different media types and shale core (SSK111460) in synthetic groundwater. No microbial growth was seen after 7 months.

Statement

Detailed methodology in attached documents. Core samples processed into powder in sterile conditions. Powdered sandstone (SSK111461) used to inoculate various medias designed to enrich for fermentative organisms, iron reducers, sulfate reducers, and methanogens. The media consists of a basal salt solution, trace metal solution, vitamin solution, and electron donors and/or acceptors. A carbonate-bicarbonate buffer system at pH 9.2 was also added. Enrichments were stored at 13⁰C to replicate the temperature recorded in the GGC01 bore hole the core samples were obtained from. The powdered shale was used to inoculate enrichments in synthetic groundwater in oxic and anoxic conditions and stored at 13⁰C to replicate the temperature recorded in the GGC01 bore hole the core samples were obtained from.
