16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of sea water samples from offshore China

Seawater was sampled by a CTD rosette (Seabird 911, SeaBird Electronics, Bellevue, Washington, USA) at 4 stations in the North Yellow Sea (NYS) and 8 stations in the Bohai Sea (BS) during the Spring of 2020. The diversity of three cycloalkane degrading bacteria with different side chain lengths was studied by 16SrRNA high-throughput sequencing and analysis in the process of the enrichment culture differences between microbial community structure and diversity, response of microorganisms to cycloalkanes exposure with different side chain lengths in BS and NYS.
