Metagenomic surveillance of microorganisms from a single oyster sample collected at Bar Beach, Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria
This study presents a metagenomic surveillance analysis of microorganisms from a single oyster (Crassostrea spp.) sample collected at Bar Beach, Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria. The sample was subjected to high-throughput whole-genome sequencing on the Illumina platform. Raw sequencing reads were taxonomically classified using Kraken2 to profile the microbial community composition of oysters from this coastal environment. This surveillance study provides baseline data on the microbial diversity of oysters from Bar Beach, contributing to our understanding of the microbiome of seafood from Nigerian coastal waters. The findings support food safety surveillance and environmental monitoring efforts in the region.
