Copepod induced bacterial community Raw sequence reads

Sampling

Live copepods from the North Atlantic subtropical gyre were collected and rinsed to be used in bioassay-type experiments. Bacteria present in various seawater and copepod treatments were analyzed by targeting the 16S rRNA V3-V4 region. In this study, copepods were observed to increase growth of bacteria which were released to their surroundings. Additionally, copepods may be responsible for inhibiting or inducing growth of specific bacterial groups.
