Microbial community sequencing of different Hydra species from Hungary

Here, we describe the bacterial composition of field-collected Hydra, a freshwater cnidarian that forms stable associations with microbial species in the laboratory and displays complex interactions with components of the microbiota. We sampled Hydra polyps from 21 Central European water bodies (Hungary and Romania) and identified bacterial taxa through 16S rRNA sequencing.

我们在此详述野外采集的水螅（Hydra）的细菌组成：水螅是一类淡水刺胞动物（cnidarian），在实验室环境中可与微生物类群形成稳定共生关系，并与微生物组各组分展现出复杂互作。我们从中欧21处水体（匈牙利与罗马尼亚）采集水螅螅体，并通过16S核糖体RNA（16S rRNA）测序鉴定细菌类群。
