Gut Microbiome Analyses of Wild Migratory Freshwater Fish (Megalobrama terminalis) Through Geographic Isolation.

ABSTRACT: Gut microbiome is considered as a critical role in host digestion and metabolic homeostasis. Nevertheless, the lack of knowledge concerning how the host-associated gut microbiome underpins the host metabolic capability and regulates digestive functions hinders the exploration of gut microbiome variation in diverse geographic population. In the present study, we selected the black Amur bream (Megalobrama terminalis) that inhabits southern China drainage with multiple geographic populations and relatively high digestive plasticity as a candidate to explore the potential effects of genetic variation and environmental discrepancy on fish gut microbiome. Here, high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing was utilized to decipher the distinct composition and diversity of the entire gut microb
