- Impact of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on digestive enzymes, oxidative stress, and antioxidant defense in fish farming: current insights and future perspectives (2024) · Frontiers in Marine Science · cited 88× · doi
The complexity of the field due to variations in experimental design, species-specific responses, and lack of standardized methodologies. The need to establish robust correlations between dietary interventions and observed effects. The challenge of maintaining a balanced microbial community in the gut to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and gut function.

The study identifies a gap in understanding the principles governing the variability in the outcomes of interactions between environmental exposures and individual biology. The study notes that previous studies have examined the factors influencing the gut microbiome in isolation, rather than using a formal mediation framework.

Further studies are needed to examine the ecologic limit of strain richness and the role of ecologic and environmental pressures. Research is needed to develop personalized therapies for gut microbiota-related diseases based on strain richness. Studies should investigate the relationship between strain richness and disease outcomes.
