DNA from a marine amphipod
Sample was stored in 90% ethanol. DNA was extracted using a Qiagen DNeasy kit. Preparation for sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was carried out according to the Earth Microbiome Project protocol (Caporaso et al., 2011; Caporaso et al., 2012) with modifications as previously described (Case et al., 2015). Raw sequences were generated on an Illumina MiSeq platform at Laragen, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA, USA).
