title: Bacterial community present in Faunus ater found in the second sampling site of the upstream section of Tandag river.
design: Crushed samples of Faunus ater collected from different sites of the Tandag river were subjected to PCR and purified products were sent to Macrogen (South Korea) for high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of nine amplicon libraries (U1, U2, U3, M1, M2, M3, D1, D2, D3) were constructed. FLASH (Fast Length Adjustment of Short Reads), a precise and efficient instrument for genome assembly and analysis, was utilized to merge paired-end reads.
