Amplicon Sequence CollectionsEukaryotic Microbial Communities in Japanese Arable Andisols Investigated by Amplicon Sequencing of 18S rRNA GenesCompared with the well-studied soil prokaryotic communities, little is known about soil eukaryotic communities. Here, we investigated the eukaryotic community structures in 43 arable soils using amplicon sequencing of 18S rRNA genes. Major taxonomic groups, such as Fungi, Holozoa, and Stramenopiles, were detected in all samples.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequence Data from Feces of Wild Deer (Cervus nippon) in JapanWe report 16S rRNA amplicon sequence data from feces of 109 wild deer in Japan. The dominant bacterial taxa in fecal microbiota of wild deer hunted between village and mountainous areas and those living on Miyajima Island and in Nara Park were similar but differed in abundance.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequence Data from Feces of Five Species of Wild Animals in JapanWe report 16S rRNA amplicon sequence data from feces from 58 wild boars, 60 feral raccoons, 9 wild Japanese badgers, 21 wild masked palm civets, and 8 wild raccoon dogs in Japan. The predominant bacterial taxa in the fecal microbiota were similar in part but varied among the animal species.
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsMicrobial Diversity of the Hell Creek Watershed at the Tri-Faith Community in Nebraska, Based on 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon SequencingHell Creek’s watershed is a historically important native land area located in Omaha, Nebraska, that includes Hell Creek and an adjacent flood plain. This initial microbial analysis showed that even though samples were isolated from the same watershed area, there were significant differences between the creek itself and the nearby pond.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing of Urban Prokaryotic Communities in the South Bronx River EstuaryBiodiversity monitoring is an essential component of restoration efforts. We sequenced 16S rRNA gene amplicons from sediments and waters of Hunts Point Riverside Park and Soundview Park, located in a historically degraded but recovering urban estuary in New York. In total, 16,165 unique amplicon sequence variants were recovered, and Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Diversity in the Salt Crust of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, the World’s Largest Salt FlatSalar de Uyuni is a vast, high-altitude salt flat in Bolivia with extreme physico-geochemical properties approaching multiple limits of life. Evidence for diverse halophilic bacteria and archaea was found in its surface and near-surface salt crust using 16S amplicon analysis, providing a snapshot of prokaryotic life.
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsComparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota in Two Populations of Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819) Based on 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon DataDespite the importance of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus as a major cultivated species, information on its microbiota is limited. Here, we provide a high-throughput sequencing data analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicons from the distal intestine of A. purpuratus. Geographical and seasonal variation of the indigenous gut microbiota is shown.
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsBacterial Community Sequences of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in the Potomac RiverHere, we report results from PCR and sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes from leaf and root surfaces from nine submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) samples comprising five species. Samples were from four sites along the Potomac River.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing of Microbiota in Polybutylene Succinate Adipate-Packed Denitrification Reactors Used for Water Treatment of Land-Based Recirculating Aquaculture SystemsInformation on the microbiota in polybutylene succinate adipate (PBSA)-packed denitrification reactors is limited. Here, we provide 439,817 high-quality reads of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of microbiota in PBSA-packed denitrification reactors used for land-based recirculating aquaculture. The predominant microorganisms belonged to the following families: Nocardiaceae, Chitinophagaceae, Xanthobacteraceae, ...
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsBacterial Diversity of Water and Soil Samples from Dripping Springs in the Organ Mountains (New Mexico), Determined by Using 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon SequencingDripping Springs is located on the western side of New Mexico’s Organ Mountains. This is an initial microbial analysis of the spring water and surrounding microbial mat. Both soil-water and water samples showed a high level of microbial biodiversity consistent with the secluded and pristine nature of the area.
