Citation

MGnify (2019). Baselines Initiative 16S rRNA gene dataset: Baselines Amplicon Release 1 (R1) Caribbean Sea near Curacao (including saline pond samples in Curacao) 2015. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/tkfv4l accessed via GBIF.org on 2021-01-16.

Description

The overall objective of this project (Baselines Initiative) is to generate several 16S rRNA gene databases to establish robust baseline information on the biological communities in marine ecosystems. This field study was conducted in the Caribbean Sea near Curacao (and saline ponds in Curacao as well) in April 2015 to examine phytoplankton community diversity.
