Summary

The Grand Calumet River flows through northwestern Indiana and was designated an EPA Area of Concern (AOC) in 1987. There are multiple legacy pollutants in the river including but not limited to heavy metals and PCBs. To investigate potential causes and patterns of eutrophication in the river, water samples were collected for 16S rRNA microbial and eukaryotic 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing during April - September 2021. This data release describes the resulting sequencing data.

Purpose

The data consist of DNA metabarcoding sequencing reads of microbes and eukaryotes occurring in the Grand Calumet River. Appropriate use of the data is to use metagenomics data analysis tools to identify what organisms are present within these reads.
