ABSTRACT
The northeastern Indian Ocean exhibits distinct hydrographic characteristics influenced by various local and remote forces. Variations in these driving factors may alter the physiochemical properties of seawater, such as dissolved oxygen levels, and affect the diversity and function of microbial communities. How the microbial communities change across water depths spanning a dissolved oxygen gradient has not been well understood. Here we employed both 16S rDNA amplicon and metagenomic sequencing approaches to study the microbial communities collected from different water depths along the E87 transect in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Samples were collected from the surface, Deep Chlorophyll Maximum (DCM), Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ), and bathypelagic layers. Proteobacteria were prevalent throughout the water columns, while Thermoproteota were found to be abundant in the aphotic layers. A total of 675 non-redundant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were constructed, spanning 21 bacterial and 5 archaeal phyla. The community structure and genomic information provided by this dataset offer valuable resources for the analysis of microbial biogeography and metabolism in the northeastern Indian Ocean.
