The gut microbiota constitutes a complex ecosystem that has an important impact on host health. In this study, genetically engineered zebrafish with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS or NOS2) knockout were used as model to investigate the effects of nos2a/nos2b gene single and nos2 double intestinal microbiome composition function. Extensive 16S rRNA sequencing revealed substantial changes in microbial diversity specific taxonomic abundances, yet it did not affect functional structure tissues. Notably, iNOS-deficient demonstrated decrease Vibrio species increase Aeromonas species, more pronounced observed knockouts. Further transcriptomic analysis iNOS indicated significant alterations immune-related metabolic pathways, including complement PPAR signaling pathways. These findings underscore crucial interplay between genetics microbiota, indicating plays key role modulating ecology, immune system, responses.

The effect of chemical pollution on the microbiomes wildlife has been given little attention. A new concept is emerging where are vital to host animal or plant health, and for ecosystems. Data mainly mammals, birds, fish. Changing environmental conditions (e.g., salinity, pH, season) exposure chemicals alter composition gill, gut skin microbiomes. Gut also modulated by diet, including metals, nanomaterials, fungicides microplastics. However, a change in microbiome does not necessarily infer adverse effects host, with some evidence co-adaptation.

Introduction Cassia seeds, originating from the mature seeds of leguminous cassia species, possess pharmacological effects attributed to their rich composition various active ingredients, notably anthraquinones. While current research predominantly focuses on pharmaceutical extractions, there has been limited progress in fermentation studies. Methods Our study aimed enhance content compounds such as anthraquinones, flavonoids, and polyphenols using microbial techniques. We specifically optimized a system through single-factor experimental design. Results The antioxidant properties solution were validated assays involving HaCaT cells zebrafish. observed effective suppression inflammatory reactions both RAW264.7 transgenic zebrafish by solution. Moreover, significant inhibition tyrosinase activity melanin production was evident B16-F10 Positive outcomes also obtained antibacterial chick embryo experiments.
