O. Ivanytsia; Odessa І.І. Mechnikov National Univ. – Odesa, 2015.https://dspace.onu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/11896Zmiiniy is a small island situated in the northern-western part of the Black Sea. The seawater around it and its marine ecosystem are under great impact of the outside factors such as: Danube river flow that brings nutrients with allochtonic microorganisms from mainland and development of ship activity in this region. All these factors lead to forming of unique marine ecosystem of the island where microorganisms are the integral part of it. The aim of the study was to determine the marine microbial biodiversity of the Zmiiniy island coastal seawatr with the help of metagenomic 16S rRNA analysis.enZmiiniy islandmetagenomic 16S rRNA analysismarine microbial biodiversityArticle
