In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene amplicons to describe the bacterial microbiota associated with oysters ( Crassostrea virginica ) and seawater collected from two sites in the Chesapeake Bay. The dominant bacterial groups included those belonging to the order Pelagibacteraceae , family Enterobacteriaceae , and genus Synechococcus The microbiomes varied among oysters from the same site and between the two sites and months.
