Article Synopsis
- Foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes crucial to marine ecosystems, affecting biogeochemical cycles and showing distinct habitat preferences based on sediment conditions.
- This study used 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding to analyze the microbiomes of five deep-sea foraminiferal species, revealing their unique microbiomic profiles and significant differences from surrounding sediment bacteria.
- The findings suggest potential symbiotic relationships between specific bacterial groups and foraminiferal species, alongside chloroplast evidence indicating various trophic preferences among them.
