Mobile Genetic Elements, 2012 Plasmids are episomally replicating genetic elements which carry backbone genes that are important for their replication and maintenance within their host, and accessory genes that might confer an advantage to their host in its ecological niche. As such, they are often perceived as a powerful evolutionary force, which horizontally introduces new traits

Highly Promiscuous Oxidases Discovered in the Bovine Rumen Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The bovine rumen hosts a diverse microbiota, which is highly specialized in the degradation of lignocellulose. Ruminal bacteria, in particular, are well equipped to deconstruct plant cell wall polysaccharides. Nevertheless, their potential role in the breakdown of the lignin network has never been investigated.

Selected Alternative Feed Additives Used to Manipulate the Rumen Microbiome [PDF]
Animals, 2021 In recent years, a boost in the ruminant population has been observed, and consequently, an increase in the animals’ demand for nutrients and methane emissions. Methane emission is generated during the microbial fermentation of feed in the rumen, and a percentage even up to 12% of the energy obtained by this process can be wasted.

- Invited Review - Chemical signalling within the rumen microbiome. [PDF]
Anim BiosciRuminants possess a specialized four-compartment forestomach, consisting of the reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen, the primary fermentative chamber, harbours a dynamic ecosystem comprising bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages.

Expressions of resistome is linked to the key functions and stability of active rumen microbiome
Animal Microbiome, 2022 Background The resistome describes the array of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) present within a microbial community. Recent research has documented the resistome in the rumen of ruminants and revealed that the type and abundance of ARGs could be ...

In vitro increased respiratory activity of selected oral bacteria may explain competitive and collaborative interactions in the oral microbiome [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the driving forces behind the shifts in the ecological balance of the oral microbiota will become essential for the future management and treatment of periodontitis. As the use of competitive approaches for modulating bacterial outgrowth is

Effect of a high forage: Concentrate ratio on milk yield, blood parameters and oxidative status in lactating cows [PDF]
, 2020 A feeding strategy that requires a forage: concentrate ratio equal to 70: 30, with at least five different herbs in the forage and the use of silages prohibited, has recently been introduced in Italy.

Impact of the rumen microbiome on milk fatty acid composition of Holstein cattle
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background Fatty acids (FA) in bovine milk derive through body mobilization, de novo synthesis or from the feed via the blood stream. To be able to digest feedstuff, the cow depends on its rumen microbiome. The relative abundance of the microbes has been
