Marine Synechococcus metagenome isolated from coastal surface water

Coastal surface water was collected from the end of the pier located at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA on October 10, 2006. A concentrated marine picoplankton sample was by filtration between a size range of 0.45-2.0 .M, and Synechococcus cells were concentrated by flow cytometry. Whole genomic DNA was prepared from the Synechococcus-enriched metagenomic sample, amplified by Genomphi and sequenced by 454 sequencing. 454 sequence data is available from the Short Read Archive (SRA): SRA001124.
