Insights into the potential of the Atlantic cod gut microbiome as biomarker of oil contamination in the marine environment
Background: Microorganisms are widespread in all environments, including in and on animal bodies. The gut microbiome has an essential influence on fish health, and is affected by several persistent and harmful organic and inorganic contaminants. Considering the shifts in gut microbiota composition o...
