Particulate organic matter (fecal pellets) from zooplankton has been demonstrated to be important nutrient sources for the pelagic prokaryotic community. Significantly less is known about the chemical composition of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) produced by these eukaryotes and its infl...
Background
Antibiotic treatment has a well-established detrimental effect on the gut bacterial composition, but effects on the fungal community are less clear. Bacteria in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract may limit fungal colonization and invasion. Antibiotic drugs t...
Entomopathogenic fungi have the ability to both directly kill insect pests and act as plant endophytic fungi to impact plant growth and development. Despite this, the widespread endophytic use of these fungi in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) is still limited. This study examined how Beauveria bas...
Heat stress (HS) compromises poultry health by disrupting intestinal integrity and microbiota homeostasis. This study compared heat stress-susceptible (HS-SUS) and heat stress-resistant (HS-RES) White Leghorn chickens under chronic cyclic HS (35±2°C, 8 h/day). HS-RES chickens demonstrated superio...
