Identification and implications of a core bacterial microbiome in 19 clonal cultures laboratory-reared for months to years of the cosmopolitan dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum.

ABSTRACT: Identification of a core microbiome (a group of taxa commonly present and consistently abundant in most samples of host populations) is important to capture the key microbes closely associated with a host population, as this process may potentially contribute to further revealing their spatial distribution, temporal stability, ecological influence, and even impacts on their host's functions and fitness. The naked dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum is a cosmopolitan and toxic species, which is also notorious in forming harmful algal blooms (HABs) and causing massive fish-kills. Here we reported the core microbiome tightly associated with 19 strains of K. veneficum that were originally isolated from 6 geographic locations along the coast of China and from an estuary of Chesap
