Data bat skin microbiome

We performed high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the skin microbiome of two different bat species living in captivity in two different habitats. In the first habitat, <i>Artibeus jamaicensis</i> and <i>Carollia perspicillata</i> lived together, while the second habitat contained only <i>A. jamaicensis. </i>The sampling protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the Montréal Biodôme and by the staff of the Granby Zoo.<br><br><br><br><br> ^{<br> <br>}
