accordance with major redox processes in these environments
implied by hydrochemical analyses.It was found that several
redox processes could take place simultaneously in many
cases ( Ludvigsen,1998 ),which is consistent with
coexistence of sulfate reducing bacteria and methanotrophic
bacteria in groundwater samples B and C.
A phylogenetic descri ption of dominant microbial
populations is an important step in understanding of ecological
processes in aquifers beneath a landfill.However,
phylogenetic affiliation alone is not sufficient to firmly connect
certain microbial taxa with a biochemical reaction,therefore
we can only hypothesize about its possible biochemical role.
On the other hand,evidences from other aspects can be used
to support the validity of our speculations.It is reasonable
that more sequences are related to complex compound
degrading fermentative bacteria in the samples B and C. For
example,2 sequences (3JL288 and 3ML292) are affiliated
with aminobacterium colombiense,an aminoacid degrading
obligate anaerobe.A sequence ( 3JL293) is affiliated with
Ilyobacter polytropus,a fermentative Fusobacterium which
specialized in the degradation of hydroaromatic compounds.
In this study,it is significative that phylogenetic information
showing variations of dominant microbial populations is in
accordance with hydrochemical changes of groundwater on the
whole.
3 Conclusions
The results indicated that obvious changes of dominant
microbial populations had occurred in groundwater in
response to leachate from Laogang Landfill.Concentration
variations of dissolved redox relevant species suggested that
the dominating redox process had changed from denitrification
to methane production Psulfate reduction. The dominating
redox process determined is accordant with the closest
relatives of some dominant clones,based on their indications
on the ability to perform redox reactions in the GenBank
database.

dominant microbial populations are shown in Table 2.
There is strong dominance by bacteria belonging to β2
Proteobacteria in the A library,while no clones showed
affiliation to β2 Proteobacteria,and relatively dominant

Based on the GenBank’s indications of the closest

of the bacterium represented by the sequence could be
