PacBio sequencing of healthy and white-faeces syndrome affected shrimp samples

This study focuses on portraying the gut bacterial communities of Litopenaeus vannamei, and also attempts to predict the functions of potentially virulent gene cores behind the pathophysiology of White Faeces Syndrome in shrimps through metaxonomic analysis of full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene (V1-V9) using PacBio Sequel II sequencing technology.

本研究旨在表征凡纳滨对虾（Litopenaeus vannamei）的肠道细菌群落，并采用PacBio Sequel II测序技术对细菌全长16S核糖体RNA基因（V1-V9可变区）开展宏分类学分析，进而预测虾类白便综合征（White Faeces Syndrome）病理生理过程背后潜在毒性核心基因的功能。
