Microbiome of coral, Acropora cervicornis, with different environmental history and exposure to deoxygenation
The goals of this study were to assess responses of the Acropora cervicornis holobiont to a) sites in the Florida Keys with different environmental regimes, followed by b) different levels of dissolved oxygen. Samples were collected from coral mucus, and bacterial and archaeal community composition were determined by sequencing 16S rRNA genes with Illumina Miseq.
