Abstract:

This dataset reports partial 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from sediment collected across a transect of the Chesapeake Bay in August 2010. Sediment samples were obtained via standard sediment core methods. Microbial community DNA was extracted using a MoBio PowerSoil DNA Isolation kit, and partial 16S rRNA genes were sequenced via 454 GS FLX Titanium sequencing.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data set was to determine if microbial sediment communities in Chesapeake Bay are able to utilize alkanes under sulfate-reducing and/or methanogenic conditions.

Data Parameters and Units:

16s rRNA sequence, 386.9Mbp
