Fish were fed a control dietor a diet supplemented with SpPdp11 postbiotic for 45 days, and their intestinal status was assessed using histological,transcriptomic, and microbiota analyses. Postbiotic supplementation improved intestinal morphology by widening villi andreducing lamina propria and epithelial height, suggesting enhanced barrier function. RNA-seq analysis revealed downregulation of inflammatory pathways, including ECM receptor interaction and PPAR signaling, together with activation ofbile acid biosynthesis. 16 S rRNA profiling showed a marked shift in microbial composition, with decreased prevalenceof opportunistic taxa such as Vibrio and Stenotrophomonas and enrichment of beneficial genera, including Acinetobacter,Pseudomonas, and Malacoplasma. These results provide evidence that marine-derived postbiotics can modulate hostphysiology and gut microbial communities without the risks associated with live probiotics. Sonicated SpPdp11 representsa promising biotechnological feed additive to support intestinal health, reduce inflammation, and promote sustainableaquaculture practices PB Springer YR 2026 FD 2026-04-14 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/46404 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/46404 LA eng NO Cerezo, I., Delgado-Martín, B., Vizcaíno, A. et al.
