About this Research Topic
The intestinal microbiota can be modulated through environmental parameters and additives in water and feed such as probiotics, prebiotics, bioremediators, immunostimulants, vaccines, etc. that improve metabolic responses, growth, immunity, and stress and disease resistance. Manipulation of the gut microbiome using diets supplemented with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, microalgae, and yeasts have been tested as potential probiotics in fish. The composition of the fish gut microbiota is also determined by the microbiota present in the ambient water and sediment. Thus, with a focus on these objectives, we are initiating a special edition titled ‘Microbial- Environment-Host Benefits Interactions in Aquaculture' inviting contributions from relevant experts.
This Research Topic will publish original research papers and reviews related to the following topics:
• Dietary additives and food supplements
• Probiotic benefits in fish and shellfish health in aquaculture
• Screening of microbial products for biological activities
• Beneficial potentials of bacteria
• Microbial products in intestinal health
• Understanding the pathways of microbiota in health
• The relationship between microbial community and health
• The relationship among microorganisms, environment, and host
• Reshaping host gut microbiota
Keywords: Gut Microbiota, Gut Microbiome, Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics, Postbiotics, Medicinal Plants, Bioremediators, aquaculture, Fatty Acids
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
