Micro‐organisms are an essential component of natural marine ecosystems, but also play
important roles in anthropogenically modified ecosystems, including aquaculture. Although …

Gut microbial community structure was evaluated for two species of bivalve molluscs, the
eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) collected from …

Rapid improvements in the technology used to assess microbial communities have led to an
expansion of the breadth and scope of microbial ecology research over the past 20 y. The …

Cold-water corals, similar to tropical corals, contain diverse and complex microbial
assemblages. These bacteria provide essential biological functions within coral holobionts …

Given the crucial role of microbiota in host development, health, and environmental
interactions, genomic analyses focusing on host-microbiota interactions should certainly be …

Elucidating the role of prokaryotic symbionts in mediating host physiology has emerged as
an important area of research. Since oysters are the world's most heavily cultivated bivalve …

Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
are commercially important marine bivalves that frequently coexist and have overlapping …

Digestive microbiota provide a wide range of beneficial effects on host physiology and are
therefore likely to play a key role in marine intertidal bivalve ability to acclimatize to the …

The microbial diversity in oligotrophic isolated crystalline Fennoscandian Shield bedrock
fracture groundwaters is high, but the core community has not been identified. Here we …

Here we characterize the digestive gland microbiome from wild and cultured (hatchery-
reared) Alabama rainbows (Villosa nebulosa) using 16 S rRNA gene pyrosequencing in …
