Amplicon sequencing dataset (454 pyrosequencing) of Bacteria in different types of young sea ice and sea ice brines in the Arctic ocean (North-East coast of Greenland)
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq) targeting Bacteria (16S ssu rRNA) and Fungi (ITS) in samples (n=110) from soils and aerosol in the McMurdo Dry Valleys and New Zealand.
Amplicon sequencing data of the 16S SSU rRNA marker gene of bacteria in four Mesososm experiments that spanned the spring transitional period (August–December 2013) in surface waters of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Each mesocosm consisted of nearshore surface seawater …

Amplicon sequencing dataset (454 pyrosequencing) of microbial diversity (Bacteria, based on the 16S ssu rRNA gene) in the Amundsen Sea Polynya. This dataset was used in a study where the Amundsen Sea Polynya (Southern Ocean) was used as a model …
Amplicon sequencing dataset targeting Eukaryotes (18S V9 region) and Bacteria (16S V4 region) in the <0.45μm fraction of pelagic microbes, sampled in the chlorophyll maximum zone.
Snow (n=2) and air (n=1) samples from Livingston Island (Antarctica) were analyzed for the presence of Fungi using amplicon sequencing techniques (Illumina MiSeq, ITS2 marker gene).
Picoplankton (bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic organisms < 3.0 micron) surveys conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) field research program aimed to study the pelagic ecosystem during month-long winter research cruises in the South Shetland Islands, …
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq) of Bacteria (16S ssu rRNA gene) in soil samples from the McMurdo Dry Valleys (Antarctica) taken along a moisture gradient.
Amplicon sequencing dataset of microbial eukaryotes (18S ssh rRNA v4)living in the plankton of the Southern Ocean around the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Samples were collected during the annual Palmer LTER cruise from Jan to early Feb in 2014 aboard the …
Amplicon sequencing dataset of benthic Bacteria (16S ssh rRNA gene) occurring in pools, streams and wet soils of (sub-)Arctic and (sub-)Antarctic regions
Amplicon sequencing dataset targeting eukaryote microorganisms (18S ssu rRNA marker gene) in permanently ice-covered lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (Antarctica). Samples (n=89) were taken in the photic zone of the east lobe (ELB) and west lobe (WLB) of the …
Recent applications of molecular genetics to edaphic microbial communities of the McMurdo Dry Valleys and elsewhere have rejected a long-held belief that Antarctic soils contain extremely limited microbial diversity. The Inter-Valley Soil Comparative Survey aims to elucidate the factors shaping …
Antarctic surface oceans are well-studied during summer when irradiance levels are high, sea ice is melting and primary productivity is at a maximum. Coincident with this timing, the bacterioplankton respond with significant increases in secondary productivity. Little is known about …
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq) of microbial Eukaryotes (18S ssu rRNA gene), and Archaea in sea water samples taken during the 29th Chinese Antarctic scientific expedition in 2013 at Greatwall cove and Ardley cove, Fildes Peninsula (King George Island, Antarctica).
