Heterogeneous microbiomes associate with shell-boring Polydora hoplura (Polychaeta, Spionidae) affecting the flat oyster Ostrea edulis
2025-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Shell-boring polychaetes belonging to the genus Polydora (Spionidae) infect commercially harvested bivalve molluscs worldwide, reducing their economic value. Due to their limited intraspecific variability, taxonomic identification becomes challenging without molecular approaches. In this study, we identified Polydora hoplura worms infecting flat oysters (Ostrea edulis) in the Gulf of Naples (Italy), providing the...
