Alkane oxidation genes alkB, pmoA, and cytochrome P450 CYP153 from inland marsh soil and subtidal sediment, Grand Isle, Louisiana, 2011-2014

This dataset includes high-throughput amplicons for alkane dehydrogenase (alkB) genes, particulate monooxygenase (pmoA) genes, and cytochrome P450, encoded by CYP153, genes amplified and sequenced from subtidal sediment and inland soil samples collected biannually (September 2011 to October 2014) from a marsh near Grand Isle, Louisiana. This marsh was affected by oil deposition following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Other data reported are sample collection information, elevation and water and soil characteristics.
