Genotype-environment interactions determine microbiota plasticity in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis.

Abstract excerpt

Most multicellular organisms harbor microbial colonizers that provide various benefits to their hosts. Although these microbial communities may be host species- or even genotype-specific, the associated bacterial communities can respond plastically to environmental changes. In this study, we estimated the relative contribution of environment and host genotype to bacterial community composition in Nematostella...
