Examines the influence of genetic and environmental factors on gill bacterial communities in teleosts, suggesting ecological interplay importance.
) sampled in contrasting habitats along a 1500 km section of the Amazonian basin, thus ensuring high genetic diversity. Results showed that the contribution of the host's genetic background was weak compared to environment-related bacterioplanktonic communities in shaping gill bacterial assemblages, thereby suggesting that our understanding of teleost microbiome assembly could benefit from further studies focused on the ecological interplay between host-associated and free-living communities.
