Whole metagenome shotgun sequencing of the symbiotic bacterial communities associated with Chromodoris quadricolor mantle
Nudibranch mantle was separated to be homogenized in a homogenizer then differential pelleting technique was used for separating the bacterial cells from eukaryotic cells. DNA extraction of the bacterial communities was carried out then whole metagenome shotgun sequencing on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform was performed using paired-end sequencing (2 X 150).
