Monitoring natural variations in microbial diversity is crucial because microorganisms play a major role in the environmental processes in marine sediment. To evaluate the microbial diversity in Yeosu Bay sediment, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was performed. Proteobacteria , Chloroflexi , and Bacteroidetes were the predominant phyla in all sediment samples observed.
