The Microbiome Structure of a Rice-Crayfish Integrated Breeding Model and Its Association with Crayfish Growth and Water Quality.

ABSTRACT: The rice-crayfish (RC) integrated breeding model is an important and special agricultural ecosystem that provides a unique ecological environment for exploring the microbial diversity, composition, and functional capacity. To date, little is known about the effect of the breeding model on microbiome assembly and breeding model-specific microbiome composition and the association of the microbiome with water quality and crayfish growth. In the present study, we assessed the taxonomic shifts in gut and water microbiomes and their associations with water quality and crayfish growth in the RC and crayfish monoculture (CM) breeding models across six time points of rice growth, including seedling (a), tillering and jointing (b), blooming (c), filling (d), fruiting (e), and rotting of rice residue
