Microbial Diversity Analysis of Sediment from Nakdong River Estuary in the Republic of Korea Using 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Deterioration of sediment quality has been found in the Nakdong River Estuary after large-scale reclamations. Here, I report microbial diversity in sediments of Nakdong River Estuary in the Republic of Korea based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing by next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. The dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Planctomycetes.
