Fish gut microbiome 16S
This study investigates the gut bacterial microbiome of six wild freshwater fish species representing contrasting trophic niches in the Progo River, Central Java, Indonesia. Eighteen adult individuals were sampled, comprising three herbivorous and three carnivorous species. Gut tissues were aseptically collected, homogenized, and subjected to genomic DNA extraction. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons were sequenced using the PacBio platform
