Searching for signatures across microbial communities: Metagenomic analysis of soil samples from mangrove and other ecosystems

Abstract In this study, we categorize the microbial community in mangrove sediment samples from four different locations within a vast mangrove system in Kerala, India. We compared this data to other samples taken from the other known mangrove data, a tropical rainforest, and ocean sediment. An exam...
