• Recent evidence suggests the anti‐inflammatory effect of carrageenan oligosaccharides (COS). The effects of COS on intestinal injury induced by 0.6% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the molecular mechanisms involved were investigated in this study. 0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 mg/mL COS in diet had no toxic effect in flies, and they could all prolong SDS‐treated female flies' survival rate. 1.25 mg/mL COS prevented the development of inflammation by improving the intestinal barrier integrity and maintaining the intestinal morphology stability, inhibited the proliferation of intestine stem cells (ISCs), and the production of lysosomes induced by SDS, accompanied by a decrease in the expression of autophagy‐related genes. Moreover, COS decreased the active oxygen species (ROS) content in gut and increased the antioxidant activity in SDS‐induced female flies, while COS still played a role in increasing survival rate and decreasing intestinal leakage in CncC‐RNAi flies. The improvement of anti‐inflammation capacity may be associated with the regulation of intestinal microflora with COS supplementation for Drosophila melanogaster. COS changed the gut microbiota composition, and COS had no effect on germ‐free (GF) flies. It is highlighted that COS could not work in Relish‐RNAi flies, indicating relish is required for COS to perform beneficial effects. These results provide insights into the study of gut microbiota interacting with COS to modulate intestinal inflammation in specific hosts. COS in diet could prolong SDS‐treated female flies' survival rate by improving the intestinal barrier integrity, maintaining the intestinal morphology stability, and inhibiting the proliferation of intestine stem cells (ISCs) and the production of lysosomes induced by SDS, accompanied by a decrease in the expression of autophagy‐related genes. Moreover, COS decreased the active oxygen species (ROS) content in gut and increased the antioxidant activity. The improvement of anti‐inflammation capacity may be associated with the regulation of intestinal microflora with COS supplementation for Drosophila melanogaster.
