概括
环境污染显著改变了木乃伊鱼 (Fundulus heteroclitus) 的肠道微生物组. 息地条件,而不是遗传,是这些微生物群落变化的主要驱动因素,这些微生物群落变化是暴露在污染物中的鱼类.
科学领域:
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 生态毒理学 生态毒理学
背景情况:
- 鸟 (Fundulus heteroclitus) 对芳香碳化合物具有进化的耐受性,与基碳化合物受体 (AHR) 路径调节有关.
- AHR的激活会影响肠道微生物群落,特别是与像PCB-126这样的二氧化类化合物.
研究的目的:
- 调查人口起源和PCB-126暴露对木乃伊肠道微生物群的影响.
- 区分环境和遗传影响对木乃伊的肠道微生物群之间的区别.
主要方法:
- 从受 PCB 污染 (新贝德福德港) 和较少污染 (斯科顿溪) 的地点采集野生木乃伊海样本.
- 来自两种种群的实验室养的F2代鱼的分析.
- 细菌和古生物学小子单元核糖体RNA基因的幅测序,以表征肠道微生物.
主要成果:
- 来自PCB污染地区的野生鱼类与来自较少污染地区的鱼类相比,表现出更高的肠道微生物α和β多样性.
- 这些多样性差异在实验室培养的F2鱼类中没有,这表明环境影响.
- 野生 (以Vibrionaceae为主) 和实验室养殖 (以Enterococcaceae为主) 鱼类的微生物组成不同.
结论:
- 鸟息地和环境条件对肠道微生物组合的影响比人口或遗传因素更大.
- 这项研究强调了木乃伊作为理解受污染的生态系统中宿主-环境-微生物组动态的模型.

What is Monogastric Digestion?
70.5K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Anatomy of the Intestines
71.3K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
