#gnotobioticclams

Generating gnotobiotic bivalves: a new method on Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) | Microbiology Spectrum The extensive diversity of host-microbe symbioses across ecosystems requires the use of different models to identify conserved and specific processes underlying such relationships. The need for novel models is particularly relevant in the context of the ...

Extending microbiome research across diverse organisms is key to understand the complexity of host–microbe symbioses

In our latest study, we developed a protocol to generate #gnotobioticclams
We hope it will be useful for a wide range of bivalves to test microbial traits in nature and aquaculture
