Zebrafish intestinal microbiota 16S rRNA gene sequencing - Developmental time series. gut metagenome

The goal of this study was to catalogue the microbial constituents and diversity of the zebrafish intestinal microbiota throughout the development of the host. A sibship of zebrafish from a single adult WT (Tubingen strain) parental pair was sampled at 7 developmental time points, under controlled environmental conditions. Associated environmental samples (water, tank surfaces and food) were also surveyed during this study and included.
