Study of the microbiome associated with the jellyfish R. pulmo by means of metabarcoding analysis
The composition and the functional metabolic diversity of the microbial community associated with different fractions (umbrella, oral arms and secreted mucus) of Rhizostoma pulmo jellyfish, collected during a summer outbreak in the Northern Ionian Sea was investigated by the integration of culture-dependent methods with a high-throughput amplicon sequencing (HTS) approach.
