title: Bacterial community in oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) from the Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar (Site 19)
design: Samples were shipped to Zymo Research (Irvine, CA) for processing and sequencing. Genomic DNA was isolated using the ZymoBIOMICS-96 MagBead DNA Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) and 16S rRNA gene amplicon libraries were prepared using the Quick-16S Primer Set V3-V4 (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA), a proprietary version of the 341F/785R primer set. Libraries were 2x300bp paired-end sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform. Files submitted are the unprocessed but demultiplexed .fastq files provided by Zymo Research.
