Abstract
The aim of this study was to understand the effect of Vibrio alginolyticus on the intestinal tract of Strongylocentrotus intermedius. The effects of injecting V. alginolyticus into the body cavity via the perioral membrane at concentrations of 0 CFU/mL (C), 1.5 × 107 CFU/mL (VA1), and 1.5 × 108 CFU/mL (VA10) on the intestinal tract of S. intermedius were analyzed using histological examination, immunoenzyme activity, and 16S rRNA sequencing. The results showed that V. alginolyticus caused intestinal tissue damage and oxidative stress (e.g. altered levels of superoxide dismutase). In addition, the intestinal flora was altered. At the phylum level, the abundance of Bacteroidota was significantly decreased in the VA10 group, at the genus level, Vibrio spp. exhibited a significant increase following V. alginolyticus injection. Prediction of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes function in the intestinal flora revealed that high concentrations of V. alginolyticus may have induced pathways such as energy metabolism. These results indicated that V. alginolyticus caused lesions in the intestinal morphology of S. intermedius and disrupted the balance of intestinal flora.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology (CBP) publishes papers in comparative, environmental and evolutionary physiology.
Part B: Biochemical and Molecular Biology (CBPB), focuses on biochemical physiology, primarily bioenergetics/energy metabolism, cell biology, cellular stress responses, enzymology, intermediary metabolism, macromolecular structure and function, gene regulation, evolutionary genetics. Most studies focus on biochemical or molecular analyses that have clear ramifications for physiological processes.
