title: Metagenome or environmental sample from aquaculture metagenome
organism: aquaculture metagenome
description: A next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach was used to study the microbiota associated to Mytilus chilensis gut, applying pyrosequencing of PCR-amplified V6-V8 16S rDNA gene regions. We analyzed the gut resident bacterial communities in individuals collected from two locations, individuals free living in natural conditions (Wild Type group, WT) and individuals collected form intensive commercial cultures in Mussels Farms (MF group) in the Chilean coast.
