Effect of a commercial water-applied microbial preparation on the water and fish gut microbiota in largemouth bass under a zero-water exchange system
This project investigates the effects of a water-applied microbial preparation on the water and gut microbiota of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) under a zero-water exchange aquaculture system. Water and intestinal samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize microbial community composition, diversity, and treatment-associated changes.
