nanoparticles on the zebrafish gut microbiota

The environmental stresses could significantly affect the structure and functions of microbial communities colonized in the gut ecosystem. However, little is known about how nanoparticles, which have recently become a common pollutant in the environment, affect the gut microbiota across fish development. Based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene amplicon, we explored the ecological succession of gut microbiota in zebrafish exposed to nanoparticles for three months. The nanoparticles used herein including titanium dioxide nanoparticles , zinc oxide nanoparticles, and selenium nanoparticles
