Age Influences the Bacterial Composition of Samples From Buffaloes in the Marajó Archipelago, Pará, Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Milk microbiomes showed similar composition in young and adult buffaloes. Despite distinct microbial profiles among matrices, shared bacterial families indicate microbial interaction between milk, faeces, calf spittle and soil. ABSTRACT Buffalo milk stands out for its nutritional qualities and is mainly produced in Brazil in the Amazon region ...

Metatranscriptomics of the Hu sheep rumen microbiome reveals novel cellulases [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Cellulosic biomass has great potential as a renewable biofuel resource. Robust, high-performance enzymes are needed to effectively utilize this valuable resource. In this study, metatranscriptomics was used to explore the carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), especially glycoside hydrolases (GHs), present in the rumen microbiome of Hu sheep.

Metagenomics reveals the temporal dynamics of the rumen resistome and microbiome in goat kids

Microbiome
Background The gut microbiome of domestic animals carries antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) which can be transmitted to the environment and humans, resulting in challenges of antibiotic resistance. Although it has been reported that the rumen microbiome

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

From Assessment to Optimization: A Comprehensive Review of the Mutton Quality Evaluation Index, Factors, and Improvement Strategies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

Metagenomic Insights into the Fibrolytic Microbiome in Yak Rumen

PLoS ONE, 2012
The rumen hosts one of the most efficient microbial systems for degrading plant cell walls, yet the predominant cellulolytic proteins and fibrolytic mechanism(s) remain elusive. Here we investigated the cellulolytic microbiome of the yak rumen by using a combination of metagenome-based and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based functional ...

Holistic Assessment of Rumen Microbiome Dynamics through Quantitative Metatranscriptomics Reveals Multifunctional Redundancy during Key Steps of Anaerobic Feed Degradation

mSystems, 2018
Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates anaerobic plant biomass degradation in the cow rumen, leading to methane ...

The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...
