A Fresh Look at Tiny Life in Lakshadweep's Seagrass and Coral Beds
Scientists went to Minicoy Island, part of the Lakshadweep group, to see what tiny microbes live in two different underwater places: seagrass beds and coral reefs. They used a modern DNA tool that reads tiny segments of the 16S rRNA gene, which is common to all bacteria. The data were cleaned and gr
