Community structure of microbiome associated with Brown algae- Sargassum wightii from Kovalam, Kerala Coast
Sargassum wightii
The present study explored the potential and growth promoting microorganisms associated with the marine brown alga Sargassum wightii. Metagenomic analysis indicated that Proteobacteria were the most dominant phylum. In the context of aquaculture, the interaction between macroalgae and microbes holds promise for enhancing algal growth conditions. This research aimed to investigate the microbiome within algal tissues, focusing on samples with a high diversity of associated microbes, using high-throughput sequencing. This approach enabled the identification of beneficial microorganisms with growth-promoting properties suitable for use in micropropagation.
