Patterns and influencing factors of intestinal microbiota from different groupers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The intestinal microbiota influences nutritional metabolism, immunity, and disease resistance of fish hosts, while the host reciprocally regulates it. The compositional patterns of intestinal microbiota in groupers are influenced by multiple factors, with the core and stable interacting microbiota playing a crucial role in maintaining host growth stability. Asia is renowned for the grouper aquaculture industry, highlighting the importance of studying grouper intestinal microbes for both aquaculture development and conservation efforts.

Result

We integrated and re-analyzed 936 sequencing files of six grouper species (purebred species: Epinephelus akaara, E. coidides, Plectropomus leopardus, and hybrid: E. fuscoguttatus♀ × E. polyphekadion♂, E. lanceolatus♂ × E. fus
