Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.

The gap

The gut microbiome analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified bacterial genera with cumulative abundance below 0.5% as 'others,' but did not report the actual number of bacterial taxa detected, Shannon-Wiener diversity indices, or richness values across different temperature treatments and fungal isolates. Specific comparisons of alpha and beta diversity metrics between temperature conditions and fungal isolate treatments need to be quantified to establish how entomopathogenic fungi...

    The gut microbiome analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified bacterial genera with cumulative abundance below 0.5% as 'others,' but did not report the actual number of bacterial taxa detected, Shannon-Wiener diversity indices, or richness values across different temperature treatments and fungal isolates. Specific comparisons of alpha and beta diversity metrics between temperature conditions and fungal isolate treatments need to be quantified to establish how entomopathogenic fungi modulate gut microbiota composition.

  • Oral supplementation of sodium butyrate prevents lipid metabolism disorders and intestinal injury by modulating immunity, intestinal barrier functions, and gut microbiota in a corticosterone-induced chronic stress model in mice (2026) · doi

    The gut microbiota composition and diversity changes are mentioned as a mechanism but detailed microbiota analysis (16S rRNA sequencing data) is not comprehensively presented in this excerpt.
