Core species and interactions prominent in fish-associated microbiome dynamics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In aquatic ecosystems, the health and performance of fish depend greatly on the dynamics of microbial community structure in the background environment. Nonetheless, finding microbes with profound impacts on fish's performance out of thousands of candidate species remains a major challenge.

Methods

We examined whether time-series analyses of microbial population dynamics could illuminate core components and structure of fish-associated microbiomes in the background (environmental) water. By targeting eel-aquaculture-tank microbiomes as model systems, we reconstructed the population dynamics of the 9605 bacterial and 303 archaeal species/strains across 128 days.

Results

Due to the remarkable increase/decrease of constituent microbial population densities, th
