Longitudinal gut microbiota dynamics in Antarctic research mission crews
This study reveals that long-term residence in Antarctic research stations alters the gut microbiota in ways that depends on the intrinsic microbiota prior to the mission. These findings enhance our understanding of human gut microbiota adaptation under extreme and isolated environmental conditions.
