Bacterial Community Diversity Of The Deep-sea Octocoral Paramuricea Placomus
Compared to tropical corals, muth less is known about deep-sea coral biology and ecology. Although the microbial communities of some deep-sea corals have been described this is the first study to characterize the bacterial community associated wide) the deep-sea octocoral, Paramuncea Placornus.
