Description
Summary:The Deep-sea Sponge Microbiome Project is a large-scale study, integrating 16S amplicon sequencing data with oceanographic data. The present dataset contains 66 full water conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles which were recorded in different ocean regions world wide. The profiles were trimmed to a starting depth of 20 m below the ocean surface and reach down to ~ 5 m above the ocean floor.
