Abstract:Polychaete annelids are one of the main components of oceanic benthos, but little is known about their microbial symbionts. The purpose of this work is to study the microbiome associated with representatives of Terebellides cf. stroemii and to describe their lifestyle in the White Sea. To do this, the worms and their tubes were examined using light and electron microscopy, and the composition of the microbiome was studied by sequencing the hypervariable V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. The tubes of Terebellide… Show more
