Abstract

Water from the Hickey Run Tributary of the Anacostia River is being collected quarterly (beginning August 2018) and analyzed to create high-resolution baseline taxonomic profiles of microbiota associated with this important aquatic ecosystem, which has a long history of exposure to residential and commercial effluents from Washington, DC. These United States National Arboretum Microbial Observatory data are available under NCBI BioProject number PRJNA498951.
