Abstract
This study investigates the bacterial community structure present on the skin of Giant mottled eels (Anguilla marmorata) cultured in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Samples were collected from individuals exhibiting abnormal swimming behavior and signs of illness, including pale patches and mild hemorrhaging on the skin, from an indoor aquaculture facility located in Ho Chi Minh City. Metagenomic DNA was extracted and analyzed using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. The phyla Bacteroidetes (9.92%), Firmicutes (23.89%), Proteobacteria (63.5%), Cyanobacteria (0.33%), unclassified (0.15%) and other phyta groups (0.20%) were found. The predominating class in samples were Gammaproteobacteria (61.71%), Bacilli (13.35%), Clostridia (12.55%), Bacteroidia (9.92%). The predominating families were Aeromonadaceae (43.10%), Enterobacteriaceae (12.06%), Streptococcaceae (11.24%), Clostridiaceae (10.36%), Weeksellaceae (3.33%). The predominating genus in sampes were Aeromonas (43.08%), Lactococcoccus (11.24%), Enterobacter (5.03%), Macellibacteroides (4.46%), Plesiomonas (4.01%), Acidovorax (1.33%), and Edwardsiella (0.79%). The identified species included Aeromonas caviae (29.72%), Lactococcus lactis (11.23%), Plesiomonas shigelloides (3.91%), Aeromonas encheleia (2.58%), Enterobacter roggenkampii (1.72%), Acidovorax delafieldii (1.25%), Edwardsiella hoshinae (0.79%), and Acinetobacter junii (0.06%).
