16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of bacterial communities from stormwater ponds in South Florida
Stormwater ponds (SWPs) host distinct microbial communities. Here, we use 16S rRNA metabarcoding to characterize bacterial communities in four SWPs in South Florida, USA. A total of 37,002 amplicon sequence variants were identified, Cyanophyceae was the dominant class in pond A, while Gammaproteobacteria dominated the other ponds.
