Abstract

A comparative analysis of the intestinal microbiomes of some representatives of the Lake Baikal endemic family Comephoridae—the big oilfish Comephorus baicalensis (Pallas, 1776) and the little oilfish C. dybowski (Korotneff, 1904)—has been performed for the first time. The phylotype Akkermansia (phylum Verrucomicrobia) was detected in the C. dybowski microbiome, while Alistipes, Bacteroides, Chryseobacterium, Prevotella (Bacteroidetes), and Peptoniphilus (Firmicutes), were found in the C. baicalensis microbiome. Their presence in the intestine is associated with an elevated lipid uptake or an increase in the human and animal body weight. It is hypothesized that these microorganisms are involved in the lipid metabolism of the oilfish and determine their morphophysiological adaptations to pelagic life.
