Several fecal, stomach and digestive gland samples had low sequencing depth, and could have a high proportion of contaminant bacteria. See the article and supplementary material for more detail. Krill-associated bacterial communities characterised by high-throughput DNA sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. The data is decribed in 'Clarke LJ, Suter L, King R, Bissett A and Deagle BE (2019) Antarctic Krill Are Reservoirs for Distinct Southern Ocean Microbial Communities. Front. Microbiol. 9:3226. doi:10.3389/fmicb.2018.03226' available here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.03226/full To characterise the bacterial communities in different krill tissues, and compare them with those in the surrounding seawater.
