Bacterial community present in Faunus ater found in the second sampling site of the downstream section of Tandag river.
Crushed samples of Faunus ater collected from different sites of the Tandag river were subjected to PCR and purified products were sent to Macrogen (South Korea) for high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of nine amplicon libraries (U1, U2, U3, M1, M2, M3, D1, D2, D3) were constructed. FLASH (Fast Length Adjustment of Short Reads), a precise and efficient instrument for genome assembly and analysis, was utilized to merge paired-end reads.
