“…Diverse and abundant microbial communities colonise vertebrate digestive systems and coevolve with the host [ 5 , 6 ], which affects multiple aspects of host physiology, including health, nutrition, immunity, development, and reproduction [ 7 , 8 ]. Chitinolytic bacteria (e.g., Clostridium ) from tadpoles are advantageous in the digestion of insects, which are the main diet of anurans [ 4 ].…”

“…Important energetic gains made by tadpoles from a fermentative microbial digestion within their guts and these gains, in turn, are expected to be directly proportional to metamorphic size and/or timing [ 4 ]. In addition, the intestinal microbiota can develop a natural defense barrier exerting different protective, structural, and metabolic effects on the host epithelium [ 5 ]. Particularly, probiotics are proposed as an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to antibiotics, known as beneficial microbes.…”

Organisms adapt to environmental fluctuations by varying their morphology and structural, physiological, and biochemical characteristics. Gut microbiome, varying rapidly in response to environmental shifts, has been proposed as a strategy for adapting to the fluctuating environment (e.g., new dietary niches). Here, we explored the adaptive mechanism of frog intestinal microbes in response to environmental changes. We collected 170 Fejervarya limnocharis during different seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and pre-hibernation) to study the compositional and functional divergence of gut microbiota and analysed the effects of seasonal feeding habits and body condition on intestinal microorganisms using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, Tax4Fun function prediction analysis, and bioinformatics analysis. The results showed no significant dietary difference in various seasons and between males and females. However, a significantly positive correlation was detected between dietary diversity and food niche width. Host condition (body size, body mass, and body condition) also revealed seasonal changes. The frogs were colonised by 71 bacterial phyla and dominated by Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. Stenotrophomonas was the most abundant genus in the Proteobacteria. The composition, diversity, and function of intestinal microorganisms in different seasons were significantly different. Significant differences were observed in composition and function but not in the microbial diversity between sexes. Furthermore, seasonal foods and body mass were significantly correlated with gut microbial composition. Our results suggest that gut microbiomes of F. limnocharis vary seasonally in response to diet under fluctuating environments.

“…The microbiota inhabits the intestine which is an important physiological functional organ in S. paramamosain, and is closely related to host health [9, 10]. Much research in humans has shown that the gut microbiota plays basic roles in nutrient absorption and immune function, which is beneficial to host health [11, 12]. Some pathological conditions, such as, inflammatory bowel disease [13], liver cirrhosis [14], cancer [15], obesity [16], and Type 1 Diabetes [17] appear to be caused by disruption to its normal balance.…”

High-throughput sequencing reveals the core gut microbiota of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) in different coastal regions of southern China

BackgroundScylla paramamosain is a commercially important mud crab. The microbiota is a community that inhabits the crab intestine, and is important for physiological functional and host health.ResultsProteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Tenericutes, Spirochaetae and Fusobacteria were the dominant phyla of the 36 representative phyla. Eleven genera of the 820 representative genera were considered as core gut microbiota and were distributed in the five dominant phyla. The core genus of the Proteobacteria included Arcobacter, Photobacterium, Vibrio, Shewanella and Desulfovibrio. The other four phyla contained one or two genera. Male and female crab samples had two different core genera, (male samples: Psychrilyobacter & Lactococcus; female samples: Clostridium_sensu_stricto_11 and Candidatus_Bacilloplasma).ConclusionsThis is the first time core intestinal microbiota have been identified in crab from nine coastal regions of southern China. This study provides sequencing data related to the gut microbiota of S. paramamosain, and may contribute to probiotic development for S. paramamosain aquaculture industries.

“…To construct the EMB, Ion Torrent data and information from the esophageal disease literature ( Paull and Yardley, 1988 ; Pei et al, 2004 ; Blackett et al, 2013 ; Yang et al, 2014 ; Kaakoush and Morris, 2016 ; Deshpande et al, 2018 ; Huang et al, 2018 ; Okereke et al, 2019b ) were compiled to select the most commonly detected organisms from the uvula to the distal esophagus ultimately creating a list of 46 targets that collectively represented greater than 85 percent of the detected microbiota in the Ion Torrent sequencing datasets. Two control qPCR targets were added to address the human DNA (hGAPDH) and total bacterial genomic loads (total 16S) creating a 48 target panel that was constructed in a skirted 96-well plate format (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc.).…”

BackgroundThe microbiome has been increasingly associated with different disease processes, but its role in esophagus is largely unknown. Our goal was to determine the associations of the esophageal microbiota with Barrett’s esophagus.MethodsA total of 74 patients were included in this prospective study, including 34 patients with Barrett’s esophagus and 40 patients without Barrett’s esophagus. Esophageal swabs were obtained from the uvula, and mucosal biopsies were obtained from the proximal esophagus and distal esophagus in each patient. The microbiome of each sample was assessed using a customized Esophageal Microbiome qPCR array (EMB). For each clinical sample, we completed a detection/non-detection analysis for each organism in the EMB. The limit of detection (LOD) for each target was established by analysis of plasmid dilutions.ResultsAverage age was 60.2 years. There were significantly different microbial detection patterns in patients with Barrett’s esophagus compared to the control population. There were a greater number of organisms which had different likelihoods of detection in the distal esophagus, compared to the proximal esophagus or uvula. In addition, as the length of the Barrett’s column increased, multiple organisms were less likely to be detected. This decreased likelihood occurred only in the distal esophagus. Beside Barrett’s esophagus, no other demographic factors were associated with differences in detection patterns.ConclusionsMicrobial community structures differ between patients with and without Barrett’s esophagus. Certain organisms are less likely to be detected as the severity of Barrett’s esophagus worsens. These results suggest that particular organisms may have a protective effect against the development of Barrett’s esophagus.
