Gut pathobiome mediates behavioral and developmental disorders in biotoxin-exposed amphibians

Emerging evidence suggests a link between alterations in the gut microbiome and adverse health out-comes in the hosts exposed to environmental pollutants.Yet,the causal relationships and underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined.Here we show that exposure to biotoxins can affect gut patho-biome assembly in amphibians,which in turn triggers the toxicity of exogenous pollutants.We used Xenopus laevis as a model in this study.Tadpoles exposed to tropolone demonstrated notable develop-mental impairments and increased locomotor activity,with a reduction in total length by 4.37%-22.48%and an increase in swimming speed by 49.96%-84.83%.Fusobacterium and Cetobacterium are predom-inant taxa in the gut pathobiome of tropolone-exposed tadpoles.The tropolone-induced developmental and behavioral disorders in the host were mediated by assembly of the gut pathobiome,leading to transcriptome reprogramming.This study not only advances our understanding of the intricate in-teractions between environmental pollutants,the gut pathobiome,and host health but also emphasizes the potential of the gut pathobiome in mediating the toxicological effects of environmental contaminants.
