Picocyanobacterial diversity in the East China Sea and the East Sea
environmental samples
To understand seasonal changes of picocyanobacterial diversity, especially Synechococcus, and to elucidate factors regulating their distribution, abundances and genetic diversity of picocyanobacteria and environmental variables were investigated at two stations located in the East China Sea and at one station in the East Sea. Genetic diversity was studied using clone library and bar-coded amplicon pyrosequencing of 16S-23S internal transcribed sequences.  &lt;&lt; file description &gt;&gt;  File name Sampling date Station Depth (m)  mid77.sff Feb, 2009 H6 0  mid78.sff Feb, 2009 H6 20  mid79.sff Apr, 2008 H6 0  mid80.sff Apr, 2008 H6 25  mid81.sff Jun, 2008 H6 0  mid82.sff Jun, 2008 H6 30  mid83.sff Aug, 2008 H6 0  mid84.sff Aug, 2008 H6 37  mid85.sff Oct, 2008 H6 0  mid86.sff Oct, 2008 H6 40  mid87.sff Feb, 2009 I 0  mid88.sff Feb, 2009 I 20  mid89.sff Apr, 2008 I 0  mid90.sff Apr, 2008 I 20  mid91.sff Jun, 2008 I 0  mid92.sff Jun, 2008 I 10  mid93.sff Aug, 2008 I 0  mid94.sff Aug, 2008 I 15  mid95.sff Oct, 2008 I 0  mid96.sff Oct, 2008 I 20  mid97.sff Apr, 2006 D5 0  mid98.sff Apr, 2006 D5 50  mid99.sff Feb, 2008 D5 0  mid100.sff Feb, 2008 D5 30  mid101.sff Oct, 2008 D5 0  mid102.sff Oct, 2008 D5 34  mid103.sff Dec, 2007 D5 0  mid104.sff Dec, 2007 D5 20  mid105.sff Mar, 2008 D5 0  mid106.sff Mar, 2008 D5 50  mid107.sff Aug, 2008 D5 0  mid108.sff Aug, 2008 D5 50
