Gonadal bacterial community composition is associated with sex-specific differences in swamp eels (Monopterus albus)
Organisms are colonized by microorganism communities and play a pivotal role in host function by influencing physiology and development. In mammals, bacterial community may alter gonadal maturation and drive sex-specific differences in gene expression and metabolism. However, bacterial microbiota di...
