Abstract

The Quintero Bay, located along the central coast of Chile, has suffered different oil spills during the past 5 years, impacting marine ecosystems. This report describes the microbial community structure of seawater samples obtained from the Quintero Bay through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing.
