Microbial and Environmental Interactions of the 2021 Mucilage Event in the Sea of Marmara
This study utilized environmental DNA metabarcoding (16S, 18S and ITS regions) to investigate the biodiversity across 24 stations (39 samples), both during and after the mucilage event (2021, the Sea of Marmara), focusing on identifying potential organisms responsible for mucilage formation, characterizing community composition, and uncovering physicochemical factors involved.
