Soil bacterial communities of Osorno Volcano, Northern Patagonian, Chile.

The Osorno volcano is located in the Los Lagos region, Chile and is used for tourism purposes due to the practice of sky. Anthropogenic processes play an important role in the structure of microbial communities. We analyzed the microbial diversity of humanized and non-Intervened volcanic soils from the Osorno volcano, Chile, using 16S rRNA sequencing to characterize the bacterial communities adhered to them; The sampled areas included three humanized areas (H), as well as three areas devoid of obvious human intervention (NH). 16S rRNA genes were analyzed using Illumina MiSeq sequencing.
