2021 ITS2 sequencing of cloacal, oral, and tank water microbiota of loggerhead sea turtles
The study includes ITS2 sequences (V4 region of 18S rRNA gene) of 17 incidentally caught (or in rehabilitation) loggerhead sea turtles' clocal microbial communities, as well as tank water samples, and one negative control (sterile water run through the DNA extraction kit). The samples were sequenced by Illumina MiSeq 2x300 bp.
