Coral microbial communities in experimental coral reef mesocosms. coral metagenome

The study explores the impact of anthropogenic ocean warming and acidification on intact coral reef assemblages using large-scale, replicated mesocosms that simulate future conditions under natural levels of seasonal variability. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to profile the microbial communities associated with the sediments.

本研究采用可模拟自然季节波动水平下未来海洋环境条件的大规模重复中型实验生态系统，探究人为海洋变暖和海洋酸化对完整珊瑚礁生物群落的影响。研究通过16S rRNA扩增子测序技术，对沉积物关联的微生物群落进行了表征分析。
