16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing of Sediment Bacterial Communities in an Oyster Farm in Rhode Island

Little is known about the impact of oyster farming on sediment microbial communities. Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial communities in 24 sediment samples collected from an oyster farm in Ninigret Pond, RI. A total of 13,147 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were as...

Sumario:Little is known about the impact of oyster farming on sediment microbial communities. Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial communities in 24 sediment samples collected from an oyster farm in Ninigret Pond, RI. A total of 13,147 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were assigned, with Proteobacteria being the dominant phyla across all samples.
