Sediment microbiome from CT1
Coral associated sediment were collected using sterile corers and immediately stored at 80C. Total environmental DNA was extracted using the DNeasy PowerSoil Kit (Qiagen), and sequencing libraries were prepared with the Illumina DNA prep Library Kit. Libraries were quality-checked on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and sequenced (2  100 bp) on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
