Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the microbial decomposition of rainbow darters, a sensitive fish species, to understand how microbial communities change during the decomposition process in aquatic environments.
- Researchers utilized 16S rRNA gene and metagenomic sequencing to track changes in microbial communities and functional pathways throughout different decomposition stages.
- Findings show significant microbial succession and potential pathogenic bacteria presence, indicating the ecological importance of fish decomposition in nutrient cycling and water quality assessment.
