The zebrafish model requires a standardized synthetic microbial community analogous to the oligo-mouse-microbiota (OMM12).

This article discusses the importance of using a standardized synthetic microbial community, such as the oligo-mouse-microbiota (OMM12), in zebrafish models for research purposes. It highlights the advantages of the OMM12 consortium and explores the potential use of other synthetic microbiota in zebrafish research. The article also mentions the benefits of using zebrafish as a model organism in scientific research, including their external embryonic development, well-developed immune system, and anatomical and genetic similarities to humans. It discusses the challenges of developing a synthetic microbial community for zebrafish and provides a list of references related to the study of gut microbiota in zebrafish and other animal models. These references cover various topics, including the diversity of gut microbiota in zebrafish, the use of zebrafish as a model for studying xenobiotics and toxic agents, and the impact of probiotics on the gut microbiota. Overall, this article and the accompanying references provide valuable information for researchers interested in studying the gut microbiota and its role in various biological processes.
