Bacterial communities in seawater from macroalgae growing environment at Weihai, China
Seawater samples were collected at Weihai, China (122.12 N, 37.56 E) on October 15th in 2018, January 15th in 2019, May 1st in 2019, and August 1st in 2019. 1 L of the sample was filtered on a 0.2 µm pore size polycarbonate membrane filter. To investigate the bacterial communities, 16S rRNA genes were amplified from extracted DNA and sequenced using primers targetting the V3-V4 region on the Illumina HiSeq 250 platform using 2x 250 bp chemistry.
