organism: marine metagenome
description: Heterotrophic microbes are critical components of aquatic food webs. Linkages between populations and the substrates they utilize are not well defined. This sample describes the reads and metagenome of microbial communities from the coastal Pacific Ocean subjected to various nutrient additions, in order to better understand substrate utilization and partitioning in this environment.
