16S sequences of bacterioplankton of a tidal mixing front
We examined how the development of the Celtic Sea Front (CF), a tidal mixing front on the Northwest European Shelf affects bacterioplankton communities. We performed 16S-rRNA metabarcoding on 60 seawater samples collected from three depths (surface, 20m and seafloor), across two research cruises (May and September, 2018), encompassing the intra-annual range of the CF intensity.
