The effect of dietary chitin on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) chitinase activity, gene expression, and microbial composition

Chitin is a common component in the natural diet of many fish. While a range of chitin-degrading chitinases have been identified, it is unclear whether chitin is metabolized in fish. Here we use a combination of chitinase activity assays, transcriptomics, and 16S rRNA bacterial analysis to assess th...
