Abstract excerpt
The gut-testis axis enables gut microbes to influence host reproduction; nonetheless, the specific role of microbial genetic variation in this process remains elusive. In this study, using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model organism, we identified 46 Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains that markedly enhanced C. elegans fertility. Of them, 26 strains were mutant variants capable of mitigating...
