A Metabarcoding Approach for Investigating the Stomach Microbiota of the Corallivorous Snail <i>Coralliophila meyendorffii</i> (Muricidae, Coralliophilinae) and Its Venomous Host, the Sea-Anemone <i>Parazoanthus axinellae</i> (Zoanthidea, Parazoanthidae)

A Metabarcoding Approach for Investigating the Stomach Microbiota of the Corallivorous Snail <i>Coralliophila meyendorffii</i> (Muricidae, Coralliophilinae) and Its Venomous Host, the Sea-Anemone <i>Parazoanthus axinellae</i> (Zoanthidea, Parazoanthidae)

The corallivorous snails <i>Coralliophila meyendorffii</i> and its coral host <i>Parazoanthus axinellae</i> are appealing candidates for studying symbiotic interactions at the microbiome level. In this study, we investigated for the first time the microbial community in the s...
