Metagenomic 16S rDNA reads of in situ preserved samples revealed microbial communities in the Yongle blue hole

Our knowledge on biogeochemistry and microbial ecology of marine blue holes is limited due to challenges in collecting multilayered water column and oxycline zones. In this study, we collected samples from 16 water layers in Yongle blue hole (YBH) located in the South China Sea using the in situ mic...
