Time-dependent microbial shifts during crayfish decomposition in freshwater and sediment under different environmental conditions

Abstract Fossilization processes and especially the role of bacterial activity during the preservation of organic material has not yet been well understood. Here, we report the results of controlled taphonomic experiments with crayfish in freshwater and sediment. 16S rRNA amplicon analyzes showed th...
