Abstract
These data report the diversity and composition of nitrogen-fixing microbial communities sampled from beach sands collected from Pensacola Beach. Nitrogen-fixers were characterized by the extraction, PCR amplification, and next generation sequencing of the nitrogenase gene (nifH). Sugarcane and peat samples were also analyzed.
Purpose

Supplemental Information
Multiplexed libraries containing nifH sequence operational taxonomic unit identified to lowest taxanomic level (counts per sample), primername, barcode name, barcode sequence.|Oiled and clean sand samples were collected from Pensacola Beach, FL, USA in July 2010 and June 2011, respectively. Peat samples were collected near Grand Rapids, MN, USA in July 2012. Sugarcane samples were collected in Liberia. Sample equipment: hand coring, grab samples.||||
