Microbial community sequencing of different Hydra species from Hungary
Here, we describe the bacterial composition of field-collected Hydra, a freshwater cnidarian that forms stable associations with microbial species in the laboratory and displays complex interactions with components of the microbiota. We sampled Hydra polyps from 21 Central European water bodies (Hungary and Romania) and identified bacterial taxa through 16S rRNA sequencing.
