Title: Zebrafish microbiome studies make waves.

Authors: Stagaman, Keaton; Sharpton, Thomas J; Guillemin, Karen

Published In Lab Anim (NY), (2020 07)

Abstract: Zebrafish have a 50-year history as a model organism for studying vertebrate developmental biology and more recently have emerged as a powerful model system for studying vertebrate microbiome assembly, dynamics and function. In this Review, we discuss the strengths of the zebrafish model for both observational and manipulative microbiome studies, and we highlight some of the important insights gleaned from zebrafish gut microbiome research.
