Mangroves are situated in convergence zones between fresh and marine water and are prone to pollution and deforestation. This study explored the microbiome structure, function and antibiotic resistome of Indian Sundarban. The taxonomic Chao1 estimated diversity was highest in uninhabited Kalash (120...
