The Taehwa River Estuary is one of the largest enclosed bays in east Korea. In order to understand the environment of the Taehwa River Estuary, the microbial diversity in the sediment of the estuary was investigated through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The predominant phyla in all locations were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes .
