DNA sequences of ammonia monoxygenase genes from ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in Louisiana salt marshes two years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (2012)

This data set contains DNA sequences of the ammonia monooxyenase genes (amoA) from betaproteobacterial ammonia oxidizers. Sequences were obtained from plots located 5 m from the marsh edge at one oiled and one unoiled site within three regions: sites 3 (oiled) and 4 (unoiled) in Terrebonne Bay, LA (TB) sites 2 (oiled) and 3 (unoiled) in Western Barataria Bay, LA (WB) and sites 1 (oiled) and 2 (unoiled) in Eastern Barataria Bay, LA (EB).
