Sapelo Island Bacterioplankton Metagenome
Coastal bacterioplankton community isolated from Sapelo Island, Georgia
Environmental DNA was captured from subsets of a coastal bacterioplankton community that metabolize different organic compounds. Comparative analysis revealed similar taxonomic markers and protein repertoires in the compound-specific bacterioplankton metagenomes, indicating coastal bacterial communities are dominated by metabolic generalists.   Source DNA available from Dr. Xiaozhen Mou (xiaozhen@uga.edu) at the University of Georgia. Sampling of environmental DNA occurred at SIMO Dean Creek sampling site on Sapelo Island, Georgia (81.2699°W, 31.3929°N) in November 2005.    16S ribosomal RNA sequences were deposited in <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?holding=&db=Nucleotide&cmd=search&term=EU167151:EU167496[accn]">EU167151-EU167496 </a>and   <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?holding=&db=Nucleotide&cmd=search&term=DQ880941:DQ881441[accn]">DQ880941-DQ881441. </a>   454 sequence data is available from the Short Read Archive (SRA): <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/TraceDB/ShortRead/SRA000235  ">SRA000235. </a>
