Notwithstanding, bacteriophages also serve as valuable biocontrol agents, underscoring their huge potential for aquaculture therapy treatments. Empirical insights into the intricate tripartite interplay upon exposure to a virulent bacterium, its specific phages, and the host gut microbiome could improve our understanding of how bacteria–phage interactions behave in a natural microbial system. This investigation assessed the influence of a virulent <i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i> (K01M1) infection, in tandem with lytic (фSt2) and filamentous (фK04M1) <i>Vibrio</i>-specific phages, on the broad-nosed pipefish (<i>Syngnathus typhle</i>) gut microbiome using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and non-intrusive gastric swabbing. The pipefish microbiome structure was not impacted by <i>Vibrio</i> and phage introductions, while the different infection regimes shaped <i>Vibrio</i>-specific dynamics. In the filamentous phage and <i>Vibrio</i>-only treatments, <i>V. alginolyticus</i> abundances spiked 12 h post-ingestion. In contrast, <i>V. alginolyticus</i> numbers in the lytic phage and control treatment were significantly reduced, suggesting phage activity and specific elimination of the introduced bacteria. Assisted by relative true-gut tissue samples, a newly implemented non-intrusive swabbing method was successful at discerning the activity of two contrasting phages and supports previous work that encourages the use of фSt2 in bacteriophage treatments. Identifying <i>Vibrio</i>-specific phages with similar positive characteristics could be beneficial for the aquaculture trade, which is currently heavily impacted by the antibiotic crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12329430/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144793090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite that support, predictor variables had low explanatory power, which increased when focusing within a site or species, explaining up to 40% and 27% of the variation among samples at a site or on a species found in multiple sites, respectively. Weather explained even less variation, as temperature and rainfall did not account for site and season differences. Low explanatory power of these variables indicates that additional factors, or stochasticity, explain much of the bacterial assemblage on geckos. Next, research is needed to determine if these low-biomass communities represent living symbionts.

Sequencing technology has expanded our understanding of oceanic prokaryotic communities' taxonomic and functional potential. However, there is limited information on how these communities vary across gradients. In this study, we conducted metagenomic analyses on samples from the eastern North Pacific, collected across a longitudinal transect around 45°N and throughout the entire water column. We assessed taxonomic and functional classification, focusing on the roles of prokaryotic communities in biogeochemical cycling. Our results revealed that the surface community was dominated by the SAR11 clade, followed by Flavobacterales and Rhodobacterales. The deep layers harboured a more diverse community, where Thaumarchaeota accounted for the most significant proportion. This clear taxonomic stratification led to variations in the communities' functional capabilities across different depth layers. Photosynthesis and heterotrophy dominated the surface layers, whereas the deeper layers exhibited a mix of metabolic features, allowing organisms to potentially utilise both inorganic and organic carbon sources.</p>","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12328064/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144793091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
