Metagenome sequencing of prokaryotic microbiota from two hypersaline ponds of a marine saltern in Santa Pola, Spain

Abstract

Marine salterns are composed of several shallow ponds with a salinity gradient, from seawater to salt saturation, with gradually changing microbial populations. Here, we report the metagenome sequencing of the prokaryotic microbiota of two ponds with 13% and 33% salinity from a saltern in Santa Pola, Spain.
