Brief description

Material was collected from the permeable reactive barrier that was installed at the Main Power House spill site at Casey Station, Antarctica. Material from the barrier was collected from 40 sites throughout the barrier and at varying depths.

Samples of the raw material GAC (granulated activated carbon) and Zeopro and three soil samples collected upgradient from the barrier are also included.

The numbers of total heterotrophic bacteria were determined using a most-probable-number count procedure with half-strength tryptone-soya broth and the numbers of Special Antarctic diesel - degrading bacteria were determined using Bushnell-Haas medium with SAB as the sole carbon source.

Numbers are presented as the most-probable number per gram of wet barrier material.

This work was completed as part of ASAC projects 1163 and 2672 (ASAC_1163, ASAC_2672).
