The Intestinal Microbiota Involves in the Deterioration of Live Sea Cucumber During Storage

This study was designed to explore the relationship between deterioration of sea cucumbers and intestinal flora’s diversity change during preservation using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We show that body wall cucumber develops white spots on day 4, epidermis dissolves 7. The distinctive OTUs remain relatively low four days storage but increase potential gut microbiota biomarkers are Psychrobacter-cibarius, Ralstonia-pickettii, Clostridiales cucumber. result mixed fresh deteriorated validates influence healthy cucumbers.
