Ruminants produce edible products and contribute to food security. They house a complex
rumen microbial community that enables the host to digest their plant feed through microbial …

The rumen is a complex ecosystem composed of anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, fungi,
methanogenic archaea and phages. These microbes interact closely to breakdown plant …

Ruminant production systems face significant challenges currently, driven by heightened
awareness of their negative environmental impact and the rapidly rising global population …

Rumen microbiota play a key role in the digestion and utilization of plant materials by the
ruminant species, which have important implications for greenhouse gas emission. Yet, little …

Metataxonomic 16S rDNA based studies are a commonplace and useful tool in the research
of the microbiome, but they do not provide the full investigative power of metagenomics and …

The herbivore rumen ecosystem constitutes an extremely efficient degradation machinery for
the intricate chemical structure of fiber biomass, thus, enabling the hosting animal to digest …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) contributes to the loss of reactive nitrogen (Nr) in
estuarine ecosystems. Although denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation in SPM …

Background: Microbiome studies need to analyze massive sequencing data, which requires
the use of sophisticated bioinformatics pipelines. Up to date, several tools are available …

Host-rumen-microbe interactions are essential components of many physiological
processes, and therefore can affect ruminant health. Classical knowledge of rumen …

The microbial community of the yak (Bos grunniens) rumen plays an important role in
surviving the harsh Tibetan environment where seasonal dynamic changes in pasture cause …
