Xestospongia Microbiome
In the present study, microbial communities of Xestospongia sponges inhabiting coral reef ecosystems were investigated using barcoded pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. Our main goals were to compare the bacterial and archaeal richness and composition of Xestospongia inhabiting coral reef systems. Illumina MiSeq study.
