Abstract
The composition of the microbiota of the digestive tract of two fish species differing in feeding habits—perch Perca fluviatilis and Prussian carp Carassius gibelio from Malye Chany Lake (West Siberia) was studied by sequencing of the V3–V4 region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene using the Illumina MiSeq platform. During the vegetative season, the composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota of the studied species had varied with the highest diversity of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of perch in spring, while in the intestine of Prussian carp in spring and autumn. The perch gastrointestinal microbiota was dominated by Sediminibacterium, unclassified and uncultivated Chitinophagaceae, Sphingomonas, Caulobacter, Phyllobacterium, Haematospirillum, Cetobacterium, Vibrio, Aeromonas, and Plesiomonas; in Prussian carp, Sediminibacterium, unclassified Vibrionaceae and Chitinophagaceae, Sphingomonas, Caulobacter, Vibrio and Aeromonas. It is assumed that changes in the composition of microbial communities during the vegetative season are associated with the seasonal changes in water temperature and food resources of the lake.
