Metagenomic data of vertical distribution and abundance of bacterial diversity in the hypersaline sediments of Mad Boon-mangrove ecosystem, Bay of Bengal.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial diversity studies in hypersaline soil often yield novel organisms and contribute to our understanding of this extreme environment. Soil from Mad Boon is previously uncharacterized, with dense mangrove forest in one side and hypersaline soil in another side of backwater located in Southeast coast of Tamil Nadu, India. We surveyed to characterize the structure and diversity of the bacterial community. Samples were collected in a partially vegetated upland, exposed backwater sedimentation and water-logged location. In this study, we investigate the bacterial community structure using pyrosequence analysis of the V5- V9 gene region. After quality checks a total of 3919, 7298 and 7399 reads were obtained. About 42 phyla were observed, among them Proteobacteria were dominant phy
