Temporal and Vertical Distribution of Bacterioplankton at the Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary revealed by 16S rRNA Gene Pyrotag Sequencing
We examined diurnal variation of bacterioplankton composition at different water depths in spring and fall of 2011 at a station in Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary using 16S rRNA pyrotag sequencing. This site is located in the transition zone between the estuarine plume and continental shelf waters in the South Atlantic Bight.
