Loggerhead sea turtles as hosts of diverse bacterial and fungal communities

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors aimed to further understand their biology in relation to their associated microorganisms. This study provides a comprehensive view of the loggerhead sea turtle bacterial microbiota and marks the first report of distal gut fungal communities that contributes to establishing a baseline understanding of loggerhead sea turtle holobiont. More specifically, the authors aimed to analyse the bacterial communities in the cloacal, oral, and enclosure samples, as well as fungal communities of cloacal and enclosure tank water samples using amplicon sequencing K. Filek et_al targeting the V3-V4 (V34) region of 16S rRNA gene and the . . .
