Antarctic soil microbial communities from the Antarctic peninsula

16S amplicon dataset of Antarctic Peninsula soils. Soils without plant cover were sampled from between Signy Island (60°S) in the South Orkney Islands and Alexander Island (72°S) in the southern maritime Antarctic in the 2007–2008 austral spring and summer. Universal bacterial 16S rRNA genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primers 926F (5'-AAA CTY AAA KGA ATT GRC GG-3') and 1392wR (5'-ACG GGC GGT GWG TRC-3'). Samples were sequenced using on an Illumina MiSeq (600?cycle). Dataset owner is Dr. Paul Dennis ([e-mail]).

南极半岛土壤16S扩增子数据集。2007-2008年南半球春夏两季，于南奥克尼群岛西格尼岛（南纬60°）至南海洋性南极区域亚历山大岛（南纬72°）之间采集无植被覆盖的土壤样本。采用引物926F（序列：5'-AAA CTY AAA KGA ATT GRC GG-3'）与1392wR（序列：5'-ACG GGC GGT GWG TRC-3'），通过聚合酶链式反应（PCR）扩增通用细菌16S rRNA基因。样本采用Illumina MiSeq平台（600循环模式）完成测序。本数据集负责人为保罗·丹尼斯博士（邮箱：[e-mail]）。
