Collection of replacement reef metagenome samples from coral and seagrass environments in Pulaski Shoals.
Location
Dry Tortugas, FL
Summary
Collected and filtered 10L each of benthic water at two sites (coral/OCS and seagrass) for 3 sequential days at roughly noon. Plated for vibrio counts. Flash froze sterivex filters for metagenomic analysis and small water samples for bacterial and viral direct counts. Froze water for nutrient analysis.
Info derived
Microbial functional gene sequences, correlations to environmental parameters.
