Alphaproteobacteria bacterium JGI G04020-N17 Genome sequencing. Alphaproteobacteria bacterium JGI G04020-N17

This is a reference genome from a study to develop a successional model for carbon remediation in the Gulf of Mexico. Samples collected over 1 year will be used to generate comparable sequence data to characterize the taxonomic and functional response of the microbial community to the initial oil spill and subsequent degradation and dispersion of the hydrocarbon plume.

本数据集为一项旨在构建墨西哥湾碳修复演替模型的研究所用的参考基因组（reference genome）。该研究将对历时一年采集的样本生成可比对的序列数据，以表征微生物群落对初始石油泄漏事件，以及后续烃类羽流的降解与扩散过程所产生的分类学与功能响应。
