title: Field-collected hydra polyp reflecting state at collection repl. 2
design: For amplification of the V1-V2 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene, we used PCR primers Fw (5- TCGTCGGCAGCGTCAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGAGMGTTYGATYMTGGCTCAG-3) and Rv (5-GTCTCGTGGGCTCGGAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGGCTGCCTCCCGTAGGAGT-3).
