Temporal and Vertical Distribution of Bacterioplankton at the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary Revealed by 16S rRNA Gene Pyrotag Sequence
To test our hypothesis that the relationships between environmental factors and BCC vary between different sampling scales, we investigated depth and diurnal dynamics of bacteriolankton community composition at the Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) in two consecutive seasons based on pyrotag sequencing of 16S rRNA gene.
