Zebrafish (Danio rerio) behavioral phenotypes not underscored by different gut microbiota

Abstract:Different animal behavioral phenotypes maintained and selectively bred over multiple generations may be underscored by dissimilar gut microbial community compositions or not have any significant dissimilarity in community composition. Operating within the microbiota-gut-brain axis framework, we anticipated differences in gut microbiome profiles between zebrafish (Danio rerio) selectively bred to display the bold and shy personality types. This would highlight gut microbe-mediated effects on host behavior. To t… Show more
