Fig. 1. Dendrogram showing the relationship among aerated (AIR) and unaerated (LEACH) leachfield soil from two different depths. Letters correspond to depths of 0 to 4 cm (T) and 4 to 13 cm (B). Numbers correspond to lane numbers on the DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) gel (Table 5).

Fig. 2. Most-probable number (MPN) of microorganisms in aerated (AIR) and unaerated (LEACH) leachfield soil from a depth of 0 to 4 cm that grew on Biolog EcoPlate substrates. Values are means (n = 3). Bars represent one standard deviation. *Significant difference between treatments at P < 0.05.
