The results showed a dominance of gamma and epsilon Proteobacteria in the case of LMW but a dominance of alpha, beta, and gamma Proteobacteria in addition to members of the Cytophaga/Flavobacterium/Bacteriodes group in the case of HMW. Konstantinidis et al. [78] used T-RFLP in order to estimate the bacterial diversity in sediments contaminated with heavy metals. Their analysis revealed a conserved community structure over a depth profile of 15 cm.
