Pyropia haitanensis Epiphytic Bacteria and Surrounding Seawater Metagenomics
This study investigates the relationship between microbial community structure and host phenotypic traits in the same strain of Pyropia haitanensis cultivated in two different coastal sites (XS and YZ) in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. By integrating morphological assessments, environmental parameter analyses, and high-throughput metagenomic sequencing, we aim to reveal how variations in microbial communities affect Pyropia growth and identify beneficial microbial taxa and metabolic pathways that enhance host adaptability and productivity.
