Bacterial Assemblages in Four Congeneric Pocillopora Corals (PRJCA045007)
This study investigates host-specific bacterial assemblages in four Pocillopora species (P. eydouxi, P. meandrina, P. verrucosa, and P. woodjonesi) from Nansha coral reefs, South China Sea. Bacterial composition and diversity were characterized via high-throughput Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
