Metatranscriptomics analysis of mangroves habitats around Mauritius

The mangrove rhizosphere harbors a diverse microbial community and the use next generation sequencing can reveal both the taxonomic composition and active biochemical functions of the complex microbial community. The study of environmental sequences was carried out by comparing the microbial community of rhizosphere microbiomes sediments from the 2 mangroves species. The study also included a comparison between a natural and a man grown mangrove microbiome.
