Characterization of prokaryotic communities in Guánica State dry forest caves using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing

Prokaryotic diversity across four caves and a guano-enriched pond (mud) in Guánica State Dry Forest was characterized using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing. Microbial profiling varies across the limestone rock formations and dry cave environment, revealing distinct subterranean prokaryotic composition.

Abstract

Prokaryotic diversity across four caves and a guano-enriched pond (mud) in Guánica State Dry Forest was characterized using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing. Microbial profiling varies across the limestone rock formations and dry cave environment, revealing distinct subterranean prokaryotic composition.
