Disparate effects of antibiotic-induced microbiome change and enhanced fitness in Daphnia magna.

It is a common view that an organism's microbiota has a profound influence on host fitness; however, supporting evidence is lacking in many organisms. We manipulated the gut microbiome of Daphnia magna by chronic exposure to different concentrations of the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (0.01-1 mg L-...
