16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of coral associated bacteria
We reciprocally transplanted three species of coral (Acropora millepora, Pocillopora damicornis, Porites cylindrica) between two pairs of protected area and disturbed ecosystem coral reefs, otherwise described as marine protected areas and fished areas. 16S rRNA amplicon gene sequencing was performed to characterize coral associated bacteria according to host origin, transplant area, and village site.
