This study shows that combining apple pectin and cellulose in zebrafish diets leads to non-additive gut microbiome changes and lasting intestinal barrier effects.

This study examines how different dietary fibre regimes affect the gut microbiome, SCFA profiles, and immune responses in zebrafish, showing context-specific effects influenced by sex and dietary context.

This study shows that gum Arabic improves gut microbiota and brain metabolism in zebrafish but reduces reproductive fitness in females.

This study uses a whole genome screen to identify genes involved in Salmonella biofilm formation on alfalfa and glass surfaces, revealing distinct mechanisms for each.

This study shows how four food preservatives exert distinct selective pressures on Salmonella Typhimurium planktonic and biofilm populations, leading to mutations in stress response regulators and trade-offs between biofilm formation and growth.
