Bathyopsurus nybelini DNA barcoding and gut metagenomic sequencing
Isopods carrying Sargassum were collected at depths of 6100-6113 m in the Puerto Rico Trench. Isopods were morphologically identified as Bathyopsurus nybelini. We performed DNA barcoding using the 18S and 28S rRNA genes and characterized the gut microbiome using shotgun metagenomic sequencing of one specimen.
