Overview

Guolong Zhang is affiliated with Oklahoma State University in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields including Engineering, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Medicine. Within these broader areas, Zhang has contributed extensively to subfields such as Molecular Biology, Animal Science and Zoology, Biomedical Engineering, Microbiology, and Mechanical Engineering.

The core topics of Zhang's work focus on the relationships between gut microbiota and health, animal nutrition and physiology, and antimicrobial peptides and their activities. Further specialized interests include research on Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens, probiotics and fermented foods, coccidia and coccidiosis, as well as photodynamic therapy studies.

Zhang has published in various journals, with frequent appearances in the Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, Antibiotics, Current Developments in Nutrition, Microbiome, and Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Zhang include:

  • Gut microbiota from green tea polyphenol-dosed mice improves intestinal epithelial homeostasis and ameliorates experimental colitis (2021), published in Microbiome
  • Microbiota-derived indoles alleviate intestinal inflammation and modulate microbiome by microbial cross-feeding (2024), published in Microbiome
  • Gut microbiota-derived ursodeoxycholic acid alleviates low birth weight-induced colonic inflammation by enhancing M2 macrophage polarization (2023), published in Microbiome
  • Influence of Heat Stress on Poultry Growth Performance, Intestinal Inflammation, and Immune Function and Potential Mitigation by Probiotics (2022), published in Animals
  • Linkage between the intestinal microbiota and residual feed intake in broiler chickens (2021), published in Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology

Zhang has collaborated frequently with several researchers including Melanie A. Whitmore, Qing Yang, Wentao Lyu, Peiru Wang, and Junjun Wang.
