Abstract

This is data on the microbial diversity of a geothermal spring located on the banks of the acidic creek of Kunashir Island. Data was obtained using 16s rRNA amplicon directed metagenomic sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. The raw sequence data used for analysis is available in NCBI under the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) with the BioProject No. PRJNA637298, PRJNA637447 and SRA accession number SRP265942, SRP266050. The data sequences of the 16s rRNA gene are presented at the accession numbers MT604934-MT604967, MT604911-MT604921 in NCBI GenBank database.

Keywords: 16S rRNA; Acidic hot spring; Kunashir Island; Metagenomics.
