Biodiversity and predicted richness of the sediment <i>Scalindua</i> 16S rRNA and anammox <i>hzo</i> gene sequences recovered from the sampling stations of the Bohai Sea.

aUnique anammox 16S rRNA and hzo gene sequences were determined via RFLP analyses. b OTUs of the Scalindua 16S rRNA gene sequences were determined at 0.5% distance cutoff and OTUs of the anammox hzo gene sequences were determined at 1% distance cutoff using the DOTUR program. The coverage (C), Shannon-Weiner (H), Simpson (D) and evenness (J) indices, and SACE and SChao1 richness estimators were calculated using the data of OTUs. c Clone, index and estimator data are presented for the “Scalindua 16S rRNA gene/anammox hzo gene” sequences.
