Abstract
Cave ecosystems harbor unique and diverse microbial ecology, with fungal communities playing important roles. This study utilizes internal transcribed spacer across seven caves in the northern limestone karst belt area of Puerto Rico to investigate fungal composition. This enhances scientific understanding of subterranean microbial dynamics and supports conservation efforts.
