Insights into the bacterial community composition of farmed Caulerpa lentillifera: A comparison between contrasting health states

This study offers pioneering insights on the co-occurrence ofC. lentillifera-attached bacteria, potential detrimental or beneficial microbes, and a baseline for understanding theC. lentillifera holobiont. Further applied and basic research is urgently needed onC. lentillifera microbiome, shotgun metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomic studies as well as bioactivity assays are recommended.
