Host habitat shapes the core gut bacteria of decapod crustaceans: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Gut microbiota is an essential determinant factor that drives the physiological, immunological, and metabolic functions of animals. A few meta-analysis studies identified crucial information about the gut microbiota of vertebrate animals in different habitats including fish while no report is yet available for the commercially cultured decapod crustaceans (DC). This meta-analysis investigated the gut microbiota of 11 commercially cultured DC species from five different groups-crab, crayfish, lobster, prawn, and shrimp to gain an overview of microbial diversity and composition and to find out core genera under two different host habitats: freshwater and saltwater. The analysis of 627 Illumina datasets from 25 published studies revealed selective patterns of diversity and compositional diffe
