M14-metagenomics:hydrothermal microbiome
This study aims to characterize microbial diversity in deep-sea hydrothermal vent in situ incubations collected from the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridges. Biofilm DNA was extracted from environmental samples and prepared using the ThruPLEX DNA-seq kit. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform using paired-end 300 bp reads. The design compares microbial community composition across different in situ incubations, both amended with substrates and unamended sediments. This sample originate from the Bruse vent site at the Jan Mayen vent field. This sample was unamended sediment, original sample name CGB8_1.
