DISTINCT GUT MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES AND FUNCTIONAL PREDICTIONS IN DIVERGENT OPHIUROID SPECIES: HOST DIFFERENTIATION, ECOLOGICAL NICHES, AND ADAPTATION TO COLD-WATER HABITATS

ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal microorganisms play a crucial role in host survival and adaptation, but information on host-specific selection or environmental factors that shape the microbiome in natural populations is limited.In this study, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to investigate the composition and predicted the functions of gut m

Shrimp is one of the most popular and widely consumed seafood products worldwide.It is highly perishable due to its high moisture content.Thus, dehydration is commonly used to extend its shelf life, mostly via air drying, leading to a temperature increase, moisture removal, and matrix shrinkage.In this study, a mathematical model was developed to d
