West Antarctic Peninsula raw sequence reads
Bacterioplankton community compositions of coastal surface waters in Western Antarctic Peninsula were determined. The V3-V4 regions of 16S rRNA genes were PCR-amplified and 16S rRNA gene libraries were constructed to characterize the bacterioplankton community in eight sites. A total of 156 OTUs were generated and classified into 6 phyla, 48 families, and 91 genera.
