title: MIMARKS Survey related sample from marine sediment metagenome
description: This sample set investigates the microbial community dynamics and successional patterns associated with the rhizosphere of tropical seagrasses, specifically Thalassia testudinum, during the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and controlled mesocosm experiments, we analyzed the dissipation kinetics of organic contaminants and the functional response of the root-associated microbiome. These results contribute to our understanding of the role seagrass meadows play in the natural attenuation and rhizoremediation of pollutants in coastal marine sediments.
