Open AccessIn-Situ Biofloc Affects the Core Prokaryotes Community Composition in Gut and Enhances Growth of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Biofloc technology is commonly applied in intensive tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture to maintain water quality, supply the fish with extra protein, and improve fish growth. However, the effect of dietary s...

Open AccessImpact of early-life rearing history on gut microbiome succession and performance of Nile tilapia
Fish gut microbial colonisation starts during larval stage and plays an important role in host’s growth and health. To what extent first colonisation could influence the gut microbiome succession and growth in...

Open AccessExogenous enzymes and probiotics alter digestion kinetics, volatile fatty acid content and microbial interactions in the gut of Nile tilapia
Sustainable aquafeed production requires fishmeal replacement, leading to an increasing use of plant-derived ingredients. As a consequence, higher levels of antinutritional substances, such as non-starch polys...

Open AccessAntibiotic effect and microbiome persistence vary along the European seabass gut
The constant increase in aquaculture production has led to extensive use of antibiotics as a means to prevent and treat diseases, with adverse implications on the environment, animal health and commensal micro...

Open AccessStochasticity constrained by deterministic effects of diet and age drive rumen microbiome assembly dynamics
How complex communities assemble through the animal’s life, and how predictable the process is remains unexplored. Here, we investigate the forces that drive the assembly of rumen microbiomes throughout a cow’...

Core gut microbial communities are maintained by beneficial interactions and strain variability in fish
The term core microbiome describes microbes that are consistently present in a particular habitat. If the conditions in that habitat are highly variable, core microbes may also be considered to be ecological g...

Effects of DL-methionine-supplemented dietary soy protein concentrate on growth performance and intestinal enzyme activity of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.)
The present study evaluated the effects of partial fish meal (FM) replacement by a soy protein concentrate (SPC) on growth performance and digestive enzyme activity of gilthead sea bream. Isonitrogenous (45 %...
