Description
Amplicon sequencing (Illumina MiSeq, 300bp Paired-end) dataset of microbial mats samples collected in the literal zone of Arctic, Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic lakes. Samples were taken during the course of field expeditions between 1993 and 2014. Sequencing targeted Bacteria (16S ssu rRNA marker gene, v1-v3 region), eukaryotes (18S ssu rRNA, v4 region) and microbial fungi (ITS marker gene). more
Microbial mat samples were collected in the littoral or deeper parts of the euphotic zone of the lakes using a spatula or gravity corer, respectively. The upper 1 cm of the core was aseptically removed and kept dark and cool until transfer to -20°C. Study Extent: Samples were taken from benthic microbial mats (upper 1 cm), collected in 233 lakes covering 17.35° latitude in the Northern Hemisphere (61.39°N to 78.74°N) and 37.16° in the Southern Hemisphere (46.84°S to 84°S), including the major biogeographical regions in Antarctica, Sub-Antarctica and the Arctic.
