Halichondria panicea microbiome time series
Temporal dynamics of the microbiome in the marine sponge Halichondria panicea from Baltic coastal waters. Tagged sponges and seawater samples were collected monthly over a 16-month period (February 2022 - May 2023) to study seasonal variation. Bacterial community composition was analyzed via Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing (V3V4).
