Diversity patterns of uncultured Haptophytes unravelled by pyrosequencing in Naples Bay

Dataset homepage

Citation

MGnify (2019). Diversity patterns of uncultured Haptophytes unravelled by pyrosequencing in Naples Bay. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/mvatzn accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-21.

Description

Haptophytes are a key phylum of marine protists, including ~300 described morphospecies and 80 morphogenera. We used 454-pyrosequencing on large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) fragments to assess the diversity from size fractioned plankton samples collected in the Bay of Naples. One group-specific primer set targeting an overlapping region of the LSU rDNA D1/D2 region was used to amplify Haptophyte sequences from nucleic acid extracts (total DNA or RNA) of two size fractions (0.8-3 or 3-20 µm) and two sampling depths (subsurface, at 1m, or deep-chlorophyll-maximum (DCM) at 23m).
