A diverse number of studies indicates that the hemolymph of aquatic invertebrates, apparently healthy invertebrates, is non-sterile. In this study we for the first time characterized the bacterial diversity in hemolymph of endemic amphipods from Lake Baikal on the example of abundant littoral species Eulimnogammarus verrucosus.
