For the first time, this study analyses the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of Isostichopus badionotus in captivity, using high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing, and predicts the metagenomic functions of the microbiota. The results revealed a different composition of the gut microbiota for the foregut (FG) and midgut (MG) compared to the hindgut (HG), with a predominance of Proteobacteria, followed by Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes. The FG and MG demonstrated a greater bacterial diversity compared to the HG. In addition, a complex network of interactions was observed at the genus level and identified some strains with probiotic and bioremediation potentials, such as Acinetobacter, Ruegeria, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Aeromonas, Rhodopseudomonas, Agarivorans, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Micrococcus, Bifidobacterium, and Shewanella. Predicting metabolic pathways revealed that the bacterial composition in each section of the intestine participates in different physiological processes such as metabolism, genetic and environmental information processing, organismal systems, and cellular processes. Understanding and manipulating microbe--host-environment interactions and their associated functional capacity could substantially contribute to achieving more sustainable aquaculture systems for I. badionotus.
