Bacterial community analysis of samples from microdroplet-based antagonistic bacterial screening
The bacterial community in rearing water of the kuruma shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) was used as the source for antagonistic bacterial screening. The water samples were cultured in Marine Broth and in ten-fold diluted Marine Broth prior to screening. In this project, the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified from both pre-cultured and post-cultured bacterial communities, and microbial community analyses were conducted to evaluate the compositional changes associated with the cultivation process.
