Microbial community structure of mangrove sediment

We collected sediments of mangrove forest from Leizhou Peninsula, including Kandelia obovate (KO) and Sonneratia apetala (SA), and unvegetated mudflat as contrast. To analyze the bacterial community structure in these sediments, amplicon of 16S rRNA V4-V5 region was prepared, sequenced by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

本研究采集了雷州半岛红树林湿地的沉积物样品，包括秋茄（Kandelia obovate, KO）、无瓣海桑（Sonneratia apetala, SA）林下沉积物，并以无植被裸露潮滩作为对照。为解析此类沉积物中的细菌群落结构，我们制备了16S核糖体RNA（16S rRNA）V4-V5高变区的扩增子，并通过下一代测序（Next Generation Sequencing, NGS）完成测序。
