16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data of bacterial communities in tropical-subtropical coastal waters of Leizhou Peninsula, China across four seasons
Raw 16S rRNA V3-V4 amplicon reads (FASTQ) from surface seawater collected seasonally (spring, summer, autumn, winter) at multiple sites along Leizhou Peninsula, South China Sea. Illumina sequencing. Supports study on spatiotemporal dynamics and assembly mechanisms of bacterial communities. Metadata includes sampling date, coordinates, temperature, salinity, phosphate.
