The ocular surface microbiota (OSM) is important for eye health, and variations in OSM composition have been associated with multiple diseases in humans. Studies of OSM-disease dynamics in humans are confounde...
Microbiota sequencing has emerged a powerful tool for advancing aquatic nutrition research. However, few studies have comprehensively investigated the host microbiota's response to trace minerals. This study e...
Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii), which inhabits Lake Dali, a soda lake in Northeast China with extremely high alkalinity (~ 53.57 mmol/L) and pH value (~ 9.6), is considered to be an ideal model for elucidating alk...
Resolving the microbiome of the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar gut is challenged by a low microbial diversity often dominated by one or two species of bacteria, and high levels of host contamination in sequencing da...
The transmission of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors (VFs) between wildlife and livestock is an emerging concern for animal and human health, especially in shared ecosystems. ARGs en...
