Major ocean currents may shape the microbiome of the topshell Phorcus sauciatus in the NE Atlantic Ocean

Abstract Studies on microbial communities are pivotal to understand the role and the evolutionary paths of the host and their associated microorganisms in the ecosystems. Meta-genomics techniques have proven to be one of the most effective tools in the identification of endosymbiotic communities of...
