Bacteria associated with Loripes orbiculatus gill tissue and seagrass environment
Description: Bacterial samples were collected from Loripes orbiculatus and seagrass environment (sediment, overlying seawater, seagrass blades and seagrass roots) to examine diversity of Ca. Thiodiazotropha symbionts in the bivalve hosts and seagrass environment. Both 16S rRNA amplicon and metagenome sequencing were used to examine diversity within the bivalve host and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to examine diversity within the compartments of the seagrass habitat. Sequencing was performed at the Joint Microbiome Facility of the Medical University of Vienna and the University of Vienna under the project IDs JMF-2203-01, JMF-2203-02, and JMF-2201-06.
