Shotgun sequencing of sediment microbiome unprotected arid-tropical natural wetland in northeastern South Africa
The objective was to investigate the microbial community structure, diversity, species richness, and functional metabolic potential in the sediment samples collected from ten different natural wetlands in the Limpopo province, South Africa. To achieve this, we employed the high-throughput Illumina NextSeq 2000 platform, which allowed for efficient and comprehensive analysis of the sediment microbiome.
