Pooled metagenome of marine bacterial fraction time series (22 days)
In May and June of 2021, marine microbial samples were collected for DNA sequencing in East Sound, WA, USA every 4 hours for 22 days. This high temporal resolution sampling effort captured the last 3 days of a Rhizosolenia sp. bloom, the initiation and complete bloom cycle of Chaetoceros socialis (11 days), the following bacterial bloom (6 days), and the initiation of a second C. socialis bloom (2 days). DNA from all 128 microbial samples (0.22-1.2 micron) collected across the time series were combined to generate a pooled sample with equal amounts of DNA (50 ng) from each sample for whole genome sequencing.
