A contribution to the larval amphibian microbiome: characterization of bacterial microbiome of Ichthyophis bannanicus (Order: Gymnophiona) and comparison with the other two amphibian orders
Abstract:It is known that animal-associated microbiomes form indispensable relationships with hosts and are responsible for many functions important for host-survival. Next-gen driven approaches documenting the remarkable diversity of microbiomes have burgeoned, with amphibians too, benefiting from such treatments. The microbiome of Gymnophiona (caecilians), one of the three amphibian orders, constituting of 3% of amphibians, however, remains almost unknown. The present study aims to address this knowledge gap through … Show more
