Prokaryotic communities profile from metagenomic libraries of the brown rock sea cucumber ( <i>Holothuria glaberrima</i> ) intestinal system
Environmental rDNA profiling enables the identification of unculturable microbial communities. To access prokaryotic diversity in the metagenomic libraries of sea cucumber's intestinal environment, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to provide insight into the libraries' taxonomic composition, unraveling microbial groups potentially associated with biomedical, environmental, and biotechnological applications.
