Relative abundance of NGS V9 Leptocylindraceae sequences at the six stations.

Abstract

<p>Data for plankton samples were inferred from the surface cDNA results normalised over the total number of sequences obtained for the sample and the average of the three size fractions (mean relative frequency). Data for sediment samples were inferred from cDNA template based sequences (relative frequency), with the exception of sediment samples from Naples 2009 and Varna 2010.</p
