Fungi in the gut microbiota of mammals play a crucial role in host physiological regulation, including intestinal homeostasis and host immune regulation. However, our understanding of gut fungi in mammals remains limited, especially in economically valuable animals, such as pigs. Therefore, this review first describes the classification and characterisation of fungi, provides insights into the methods used to study gut fungi, and summarises the recent progress on pig gut fungi. Additionally, it discusses the challenges in the study of pig gut fungi and highlights potential perspectives. The aim of this review is to serve as a valuable reference for advancing our knowledge of gut fungi in animals.
哺乳动物肠道微生物群中的真菌在宿主生理调节中发挥着关键作用，包括肠道内稳态和宿主免疫调节。然而，我们对哺乳动物肠道真菌的了解仍然有限，尤其是在经济价值较高的动物（如猪）中。因此，本综述首先描述了真菌的分类和特征，深入探讨了研究肠道真菌的方法，并总结了猪肠道真菌的最新研究进展。此外，还讨论了猪肠道真菌研究中的挑战，并突出了潜在的研究前景。本综述的目的是为增进我们对动物肠道真菌的了解提供有价值的参考。
