Abstract

Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial community structure of solid waste leachates from Olusosun dumpsite. Acidobacteria (14.65 %) was the most abundant phylum with clear affiliations. This was followed by Planctomycetes (7. 15 %), Proteobacteria (3.28 %), Chloroflexi (1.41 %), Actinobacteria (0.91 %) and other phyla (0.96 %). Data obtained provides valuable insight into potential strategies for waste management.
