Soil fungi from forest and grassland ecosystems across Germany (raw sequence reads 2011)
The provided sequences were produced in the frame of the core project "Soil Fungi" of the German Biodiversity Exploratories. In May 2011, soil was taken on 300 study plots across three regions in Germany (south - Schwäbische Alb, central - Hainich-Dün, north - Schorfheide-Chorin). After extracting the DNA with the MoBio PowerSoil extraction kit, the fungal ITS (primers: ITS1f and ITS4) was targeted and amplified. The provided sequences are produced with the Roche 454 pyrosequencer.
