The study compares the prokaryotic community structure, determined by high-throughput Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes, found in small (1-53 µm) and large (>53 µm) marine particles collected using oceanographic bottles and in situ pumps. The sampling was performed on board of the R/V Aurora Australis (AA-V02 2016/17) between December 8, 2016 and January 21, 2017, in the Dalton and the Mertz polynyas (East Antarctica; 67.2 - 66.8°S and 119.5-145.8°E). Data collection procedures are described in the paper "Sampling device-dependence of prokaryotic community structure on marine particles: higher diversity recovered by in situ pumps than by oceanographic bottles" by Viena Puigcorbé et al., Frontiers in Microbiology. Here we provide the raw sequence data, together with the non-rarefied OUT table, taxonomy table and environmental data used in this study. The sequences are in the fasta format, they have treated and quality filtered as described in the article.
