Abstract:
This Data in Brief article is a supporting information for the research article entitled "Protistan community composition in anoxic sediments from three salinity-disparate Japanese lakes" by Kataoka and Kondo (2019) [1]. Summary of 18S rRNA gene sequences originated from anoxic sediment of three lakes in two seasons using high throughput sequencing techniques (MiSeq, Illumina) was shown in this data article. Supergroup-level taxonomy was compared between the SILVA search for SILVA database and BLASTn search for the PR2 database. Alpha diversity was calculated in each sample, and beta-diversity was calculated among the six amplicon libraries. Partial sequence length between the primer set of 574*f and 1132R Hugerth et al., 2015 was compared between the forward read and the combined read.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
