title: Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon from Eastern Indian Ocean 2018 Inter-monsoon Cruise
design: The total DNA of individual samples was extracted using E.Z.N.A Water DNA Kit (OMEGA, USA). The 16S rRNA gene of Bacteria was amplified using the barcodes-linked 338F (5'-ACTCCTACGGGAGGCAGCA-3') and 806R (5'-GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT-3').
