| description |
Lake Tyrrell is a hypersaline lake in northwestern Victoria, Australia, located 380 km east of Adelaide (35.309oS 142.795oE). Sampling locations in the central portion of the lake have been the focus of a three-year study to deeply sequence microbial populations over time scales of hours, days, months, and years.Sample collection began in 2007 and is ongoing. Each sample is an aqueous lake water sample, sequentially filtered to retain different size fractions for metagenomic sequencing, including 3-20 um, 0.8-3 um, and 0.1-0.8 um sizes. Post-0.1 um filtrate (the viral fraction) is the size fraction that we are uploading at this time, but data from other size fractions may be available in the future. |
