Abstract
The Quintero Bay, located along the central coast of Chile, has suffered different oil spills during the past 5 years, impacting marine ecosystems. This report describes the microbial community structure of seawater samples obtained from the Quintero Bay through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing.
Highlights
The Quintero Bay, located along the central coast of Chile, has suffered different oil spills during the past 5 years, impacting marine ecosystems
Based on the amplicon analysis, the most abundant phylum in both samples was Proteobacteria (72.3% in CGB1062-1 and 56.2% in CGB1062-2), followed by Bacteroidetes
The 16S rRNA metagenomic sequences of samples CGB1062-1 and CGB1062-2 were deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under the accession numbers SRR7811726 and SRR7811770, respectively
