| Popis: | Sea urchins, in many instances, are collected from the wild, maintained in the laboratory aquaculture environment, and used as model animals for various scientific investigations. It has been increasingly evident that diet-driven dysbiosis of the gut microbiome could affect animal health and physiology, thereby impacting the outcome of the scientific studies. In this study, we compared the gut microbiome between naturally occurring (ENV) and formulated diet-fed laboratory aquaculture (LAB) sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus by amplicon sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene and bioinformatics tools. Overall, the ENV gut digesta had higher taxa richness with an abundance of Propionigenium, Photobacterium, Roseimarinus, and Flavobacteriales. In contrast, the LAB group revealed fewer taxa richness, but noticeable abundances of Arcobacter, Agarivorans, and Shewanella. However, Campylobacteraceae, primarily represented by Arcobacter spp., was commonly associated with the gut tissues of both ENV and LAB groups whereas the gut digesta had taxa from Gammaproteobacteria, particularly Vibrio spp. Similarly, the co-occurrence network displayed taxonomic organizations interconnected by Arcobacter and Vibrio as being the key taxa in gut tissues and gut digesta, respectively. Predicted functional analysis of the gut tissues microbiota of both ENV and LAB groups showed a higher trend in energy-related metabolisms, whereas amino acids, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolisms heightened in the gut digesta. This study provides an outlook of the laboratory-formulated diet-fed aquaculture L. variegatus gut microbiome and predicted metabolic profile as compared to the naturally occurring animals, which should be taken into consideration for consistency, reproducibility, and translatability of scientific studies. |
