Characterization of intestinal fungal communities through ITS amplicon from metagenomic libraries of sea cucumber (Holothuria glaberrima)

Abstract

The brown rock sea cucumber (Holothuria glaberrima) microbiome is vital for understanding its ecological dynamics. This study focuses on the microbial composition and abundance of fungi across differentintestinal regions of H. glaberrima, giving insights into host-microbe interactions and supporting future ecological and comparative studies on their regeneration capabilities
