Microbiome of TTX bearing bivalves
Dissection of siphons and digestive glands of Paphies australis or Austrovenus stutchburyi from different siites in NZ. The whole organ was extracted using the Dneasy Powersoil Pro Kit. PCRs were undertaken using 16S primers in triplicate. Triplicate PCRs were combined, cleaned and had a second round of PCR to attach sequencing indexes. Sequencing was undertaken on an Illumina Miseq.
