Reads were put through a quality control pipeline that removed rRNAs and internal standards added for quantification (Satinsky et al. 2013). Putative protein encoding reads were analyzed by RAPSearch2 (http://omics.informatics.indiana.edu/mg/RAPSearch2/) against a custom reference database of genomes and transcriptomes compiled from marine bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes; the database is available for download at: http://ssharma.marsci.uga.edu/Lab/MarineRef2/.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- column names reformatted to comply with BCO-DMO standards
- replaced spaces with underscores
- replaced commas with semi-colons
- replaced str. and Strain with strain
