The sea star, Pisaster ochraceus, has unique and dominant bacteria.
All animals live in close association with bacteria, but for most hosts little is known about the distribution and host-specificity of these bacteria. We used amplicon... -
The ontogeny of symbiont community structure in two carotenoid-rich, viviparo...
We examined microbial communities from two developmental stages (adult and larvae) of two species of carotenoid-rich sponges (Clathria prolifera and Halichondria bowerbanki)... -
Elucidation of the mechanisms of utilization and defense systems against sola...
To elucidate the mechanisms of utilization and defense systems against solar radiation in ocean-derived UV-resistant bacteria, seawater samples from an epipelagic zone were... -
16s and 18s amplicon sequencing from a transect off the British Columbia coast
16s and 18s V4 amplicon sequencing from a transect of the Straight of Georgia and Fraser River. The study seeks to understand how salinity gradients affect microbial communities.
