16S rRNA gene sequencing from deep-sea sediments incubated with different concentrations of dissolved cadmium
Deep-sea surface sediments collected during the Octopus Odyssey expedition were incubated with different concentrations of dissolved Cd for 96 hours and preserved before DNA extraction. Amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA gene) was performed with Illumina paired-end MiSeq (2x250bp) on extracted DNA.
