Bacterial Diversity Profiling of Desert Sand from Tierra Caliente, Mexico, Based on 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Tierra Caliente is an arid region in Mexico, representing a reservoir of understudied xerophilic bacteria. Here, we report the bacterial amplicon sequencing characterization of desert sand collected from the Zicuirán-Infiernillo Biosphere Reserve within Tierra Caliente. Bacteria known to be resistant to desiccation and high radiation were detected.
