Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:In order to understand how Phormidium mats establish, and the role of associated taxa in their development, we collected biofilms over a 19-day growth period during a nitrate-induced bloom event in the Wai-iti River for proteogenomics analysis. At the onset of a late summer bloom, cobbles from the Wai-iti River (Nelson, New Zealand) were removed, cleared of incipient growth with sterile sponges, and placed back into the river. Clearing was gentle as seeding from the pre-existing rock surface is important for bloom establishment [24]. Five pre-cleared cobbles were collected at each of 3 time points to capture the first 3, 6 and 9 days of growth (Table S1). Additional cobbles that contemporaneously developed biofilms were collected at days 12 and 19.
