16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing of Gut Microbiota from Naked Carp (Gymnocypris przewalskii) in Qinghai Lake, China

Abstract

Naked carp ( Gymnocypris przewalskii ) is a second-grade animal under state protection of China. We report 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis of the gut microbiota of Gymnocypris przewalskii . The three most abundant phyla are Tenericutes , Proteobacteria , and Fusobacteria , and the six most abundant genera are Aeromonas , Clostridium , Cetobacterium , Shewanella , Prochlorococcus , and Vibrio .
