Ocean acidification drives gut microbiome changes linked to species-specific immune defence

By Eric Lee
Feb 20th 2023

Latest publication by Dr ThiyagaRajan Vengatesen lab and his collaborators

Highlights

  • Ocean acidification changes gut microbial community in edible oysters.
  • Distinct immune responses were observed in estuarine and coastal species.
  • Symbiotic microbes potentially participate in metabolism to affect host immunity.
