Could the key to oyster restoration success be linked to the microbiome?

We looked at 4 #oysterrestoration sites in #SanFranciscoBay to characterize the abundance, and diversity of microorganisms in the soil, biofilm, and oysters. Interestingly #Ruminococcus, #Streptococcus, #Staphylococcus, #Prevotella, #Porphyromonas, #Parvimonas, #Neisseria, #Lactococcus, #Haemophilus, #Fusobacterium, #Dorea, #Clostridium, #Campylobacter, #Bacteroides, and #Akkermansia were positively associated with the biofilm. Yet we have limited understanding of their beneficial and/or detrimental implications to oyster growth and survival! Read more here: https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.05.15.594453v1
