Microbial Dynamics of Wild and Cultured Sclerophytum flexibile: Implications for Coral Aquaculture
To investigate the relationship between coral Sclerophytum flexibile and its associated microorganisms and explore whether the composition of microorganisms affects the content of cembranoids in the soft coral, we used next-generation sequencing technology to analyze the associated microbial communities of the wild-type and cultured Sclerophytum flexibile and elucidate the differences.
