Abstrakt: | Recent advances in sequencing methods have greatly expanded the knowledge of teleost-associated microorganisms. While fish-gut microbiomes are comparatively well studied, less attention has gone toward other, external organ-microbiome associations. Gills are particularly interesting to investigate due to their functions in gas exchange, osmoregulation, and nitrogen excretion. We recently discovered a branchial symbiosis between nitrogen-cycling bacteria and teleosts (zebrafish and carp), in which ammonia-oxidizing Nitrosomonas and denitrifying bacteria together convert toxic ammonia excreted by the fish into harmless dinitrogen (N Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. |
