Metagenomics is a technology employed to study genetic material directly isolated from
environmental samples. Metagenomics thus reveals knowledge on microbial communities of …

Reference genomes are essential for analyzing the metabolic and functional potentials of
microbiomes. However, microbial genome resources are limited because most of …

Animals in the wild are able to subsist on pathogen-infected and poisonous food and show
immunity to various diseases. These may be due to their microbiota, yet we have a poor …

The nature of weaning, considered the most stressful and significant transition experienced
by dairy calves, influences the ability of a calf to adapt to the dramatic dietary shift, and thus …

Enriched microbial communities, obtained from environmental samples through selective
processes, can effectively contribute to lignocellulose degradation. Unfortunately, fully …

Growth retardation of calves is defined as a symptom of impaired growth and development,
probably due to growth hormone disorder as well as natural and environmental factors in …

Rumen liquid can effectively degrade lignocellulosic biomass, in which rumen
microorganisms play an important role. In this study, transformation of bacterial community …
