The first step in understanding gut microbial ecology is determining the presence and potential niche breadth of associated microbes. While the core gut bacteria of adult honey bees is becoming increasingly apparent, there is very little and inconsistent information concerning symbiotic bacterial communities in honey bee larvae. The larval gut is the target of highly pathogenic bacteria and fun...

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota plays an important role in human health. In modern life, with the improvement of living conditions, intake high-sugar and high-fat diets as well large-scale use antibacterial drugs have extensive impact on microbiota, even leading to microbiota-orchestrating disorders. This review discusses effects various factors, including geographic location, age, diet, drugs, psy...

the present study investigates the effects of different routes of inulin administration as prebiotic on gut microbiota and survival rate of indian white shrimp post-larvae. four hundred and fifty indian white shrimp post-larvae (pl1) were stocked in nine tanks. the tanks were assigned into three treatments: feeding with inulin-treated (110 mg l-1) artemia nauplii (i-t), feeding with inulin-enri...
