Description

A list of the coral species sampled and the site locations for studies conducted on the partial SSU rRNA genes of bacteria and archaea from tissue samples produced using 515F/806RB primers. Samples were collected in the Federated States of Micronesia, Austrailia, and the Florida Keys.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Coral collection and processing

Coral fragments were collected by a scuba diver using a hammer and chisel during field sampling trips to Kapangamarangi Atoll, Micronesia (November 2012), Florida Keys, U.S.A. (May 2013) and Magnetic Bay, Australia (November 2013). Fragments were stored in a cooler containing ice until they were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Fragments were obtained from 3 representative colonies of the following species: Porites lobata, Pocillopora verrucosa, Acropora humilis, Orbicella faveolata, Montastraea cavernosa, O. annularis, and Diploria strigosa. Fragments were shipped back to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and stored at -80 C until they were processed.
