Metagenomic 16S rRNA Sequencing Analysis of Pacific Oyster ( Crassostrea gigas ) Microbiota from the Puget Sound Region in the United States

ABSTRACT This is the first study analyzing Pacific oyster microbiota in the Puget Sound estuarine system using a next-generation sequencing method. Taxonomic analysis indicated that Tenericutes, Chlamydiae , Proteobacteria , and Firmicutes were the most abundant phyla. Small numbers of operational t...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This is the first study analyzing Pacific oyster microbiota in the Puget Sound estuarine system using a next-generation sequencing method. Taxonomic analysis indicated that Tenericutes, Chlamydiae , Proteobacteria , and Firmicutes were the most abundant phyla. Small numbers of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to the Vibrio genus were detected in all the oyster microbiome samples.
