| Title | Enrichment of bacteria potentially involved in a brown alga degradation in the guts of marine gastropods |
| Study Type | Other |
| Abstract |
A part of gut bacteria of herbivorous marine invertebrates may utilize macroalgae components as carbon source. We hypothesized that exclusive feeding of a target alga to marine invertebrates may enrich gut bacteria involved in the degradation of the algal components. To test the hypothesis, we reare .. [more]d sea hares (Dolabella auricularia) and sea snails (Batillus cornutus) for a half - one month with exclusive feeding of a brown alga (Ecklonia cava) and compared their gut microbiota by sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons.
