Abstract:The fitness of the host is highly influenced by the interplay between the host and its associated microbiota. The flexible nature of these microbiota enables them to respond swiftly to shifts in the environment, which plays a key role in the host's capacity to withstand environmental stresses. To understand the role of the microbiome in host tolerance to hypoxia, one of the most significant chemical changes occurring in water ecosystems due to climate change, we performed a reciprocal gut transplant experiment… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
