Bacterial community in 2L water samples from the Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar (Site 11)
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.
