Impact of Soybean Bioactive Peptides on Growth, Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Ability, Molecular Responses, and Gut Microbiota of Oriental River Prawn (<i>Macrobrachium nipponense<... by Chang Yang, Bo Liu, Liangkun Pan, Dong Xia, Cunxin Sun, Xiaochuan Zheng, Peng Chen, He Hu, Qunlan Zhou

“…Most importantly, SBPs increased the potential probiotic <i>Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group</i> abundance and decreased the abundance of the conditional pathogen <i>Pseudomonas</i> in the gut. In conclusion, SBPs supplementation can improve low-fishmeal-diet-induced growth inhibition by regulating the gut microbiota composition to ameliorate lipid deposition and oxidative stress and strengthen immune status in oriental river prawn.…”
