Scallop hemolymph microbial community
This project aimed to provide new insights into the interaction between scallop immune response and associated bacterial communities, by assessing the involvement of two host antimicrobial effectors in shaping the hemolymph scallop microbiota. The structure and relative abundances of bacterial communities present in hemolymph from scallops were characterized and shifts and restoration of specific bacterial groups along immune response progression were evaluated.
