AbstractShotgun metagenomes is a repository of all the genes present in an environmental sample. With recent advancements in bioinformatic techniques, it is now possible to in-silico retrieve sequences that belong to specific taxa, followed by assembly and annotation and the obtained sequences are called as metagenome-assembled genome (MAG), which facilitates better understanding of metabolic and other traits without having to culture the microorganism.

AbstractShellfish, such as the eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are not only valued as seafood but also for the ecosystem services they provide, including improving water quality and reducing eutrophication. Excess N causes eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, fish kills and overall decline of estuarine ecosystems resulting in economic losses.
