Demonstrates how gut microbes affect muscle texture, suggesting new ways to improve animal muscle quality.
The comprehensive results provided evidences that gut microbes regulated tilapia muscle texture through SMAD2/3 acetylation-driven collagen synthesis. This study expands our understanding of the multifaceted role of the gut-muscle axis in muscle physiology. Furthermore, our findings highlight that targeting gut microbiota and the downstream collagen synthesis pathway could be promising for manipulating muscle quality in animal production.
