Bacterial diversity data supporting changes in Louisiana marsh sediment microbial communities after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, 2015-05-12 to 2015-05-14

This dataset includes an inventory of taxonomically classified bacterial 16S rRNA sequence libraries from Louisiana marsh sediment collected in May 2015. Inland soil and subtidal sediment samples were collected 5 m inland from the marsh edge, 1-2m offshore from the marsh edge, and offshore at the approximate location of the marsh edge in 2010 (as noted). Complementary field data for the May 2015 collection are reported separately and is available under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) R4.x264.198:0001 (DOI: 10.7266/N7HM56JT).
