Project name: marine metagenome

Description: Environmental DNA was captured from subsets of a coastal bacterioplankton community that metabolize different organic compounds. Comparative analysis revealed similar taxonomic markers and protein repertoires in the compound-specific bacterioplankton metagenomes, indicating coastal bacterial communities are dominated by metabolic generalists. Source DNA available from Dr. Xiaozhen Mou (xiaozhen@uga.edu) at the University of Georgia. Sampling of environmental DNA occurred at SIMO Dean Creek sampling site on Sapelo Island, Georgia (81.2699°W, 31.3929°N) in November 2005.16S ribosomal RNA sequences were deposited inEU167151-EU167496 and DQ880941-DQ881441. 454 sequence data is available from the Short Read Archive (SRA): <a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/TraceDB/ShortRead/SRA000235 ">SRA000235.
