DNA sequences of ammonia monooxygenase genes from ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in Louisiana salt marshes six years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, July 2016

This data set contains sample collection information, raw sequence data and Genbank accession numbers for DNA sequences of the ammonia monooxygenase genes (amoA) from ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria samples collected in July 2016 from plots located five meters from the marsh edge at one oiled and one unoiled site within three regions: sites 1 (unoiled) and 2 (oiled) in Terrebonne Bay, LA (TB), sites 1 (unoiled) and 2 (oiled) western Barataria Bay, LA (WB), and sites 5 (unoiled) and 7 (oiled) in eastern Barataria Bay and Port Sulphur, LA (EB/PS).
