16S rRNA gene sequencing of coral reef microorganisms in the presence of specific metabolites
Pre-filtered coral reef seawater microbial communities or filtered reef seawater samples (0.1 m) were incubated in the presence/absence of individual metabolites in dark incubations. Samples were collected at three timepoints to assess responses of microbial communities to individual metabolites using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of marine bacteria and archaea
