OTUs.RdSaanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord on the coast of Vancouver Island British Columbia, is a model ecosystem for monitoring microbial community structure, function and dynamics in relation to changing levels of water column oxygen-deficiency extensible to coastal and open ocean OMZs. This data set contains cruise 72 of monthly time series observations in Saanich Inlet encompassing environmental sequence information. Sequencing data was processed using the mothur_pipeline R Markdown file to bin the data into operational taxonomic units and determine their abundance (alternatively, use the normalized data set).
