Microbiome of High-Rank Coal Reservoirs in the High-Production Areas of the Southern Qinshui Basin.

ABSTRACT: To study the distribution features of microorganisms in distinct hydrological areas of the southern Qinshui Basin, C-N-S microorganisms were studied using 16S RNA sequencing, metagenome sequencing and geochemical technologies, showing the high sensitivity of microorganisms to the hydrodynamic dynamics of coal. The hydrodynamic intensity of the #3 coal gradually decreased from the runoff areas to the stagnant areas. The stagnant zones have higher reservoir pressure, methane content, δ¹³C_DIC and TDS and lower SO₄^2-, Fe³⁺ and NO₃^- concentrations than the runoff areas. C-N-S-cycling microorganisms, including those engaged in methanogenesis, nitrate respiration, fermentation, nitrate reduction, dark oxidation of sulfur
