©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Three species of coral, plus water and sediment, were sampled at 21 sites around the island of Mo’orea, French Polynesia during the dry and rainy seasons during 2017 to 2020. Coral associated microbes (bacteria and archaea) were investigated and their community composition characterized through sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.
Version 1, which has been archived under DOI number 10.26008/1912/bco-dmo.845039.1, was supported by NSF awards OCE-1635913 and OCE-1635798 as part of the project "Collaborative Research: Viral Reefscapes: The Role of Viruses in Coral Reef Health, Disease, and Biogeochemical Cycling". Version 2 is a continuation or extension of the data in version 1. It was supported by NSF award OCE-1933165 as part of the project "RAPID: Ecosystem impact of a coral bleaching event: The role of coral exudates in shifting oligotrophic biogeochemistry and reef microbiomes."
