Rumen and lower gut microbiomes relationship with feed efficiency and production traits throughout the lactation of Holstein dairy cows

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Fermentation of dietary nutrients in ruminants' gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an essential mechanism utilized to meet daily energy requirements. Especially in lactating dairy cows, the GI microbiome plays a pivotal role in the breakdown of indigestible ...

Metabolic influence of core ciliates within the rumen microbiome

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2022
ABSTRACTProtozoa comprise a major fraction of the microbial biomass in the rumen microbiome, of which the entodiniomorphs (order:Entodiniomorphida) and holotrichs (order:Vestibuliferida) are consistently observed to be dominant across a diverse genetic and geographical range of ruminant hosts. Despite the apparent core role that protozoal species exert,

Experimental Study and ANN Dual-Time Scale Perturbation Model of Electrokinetic Properties of Microbiota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
[Abstract] The electrokinetic properties of the rumen microbiota are involved in cell surface adhesion and microbial metabolism. An in vitro study was carried out in batch culture to determine the effects of three levels of special surface area (SSA) of ...

Cow responses and evolution of the rumen bacterial and methanogen community following a complete rumen content transfer

open access: yes, 2018
Understanding the rumen microbial ecosystem requires the identification of factors that influence the community structure, such as nutrition, physiological condition of the host and host-microbiome interactions.

Convergent Evolution of Rumen Microbiomes in High-Altitude Mammals [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2016
Studies of genetic adaptation, a central focus of evolutionary biology, most often focus on the host's genome and only rarely on its co-evolved microbiome. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) offers one of the most extreme environments for the survival of human and other mammalian species.

The gut microbiota and immune checkpoint inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although immunotherapy has been remarkably effective across multiple cancer types, there continues to be a significant number of non-responding patients. A possible factor proposed to influence the efficacy of immunotherapies is the gut microbiome.

Metagenomic sequencing identified microbial species in the rumen and cecum microbiome responsible for niacin treatment and related to intramuscular fat content in finishing cattle

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionNiacin is one of the essential vitamins for mammals. It plays important roles in maintaining rumen microecological homeostasis. Our previous study indicated that dietary niacin significantly elevated intramuscular fat content (IMF) in ...

Assessment of Ruminal Bacterial and Archaeal Community Structure in Yak (Bos grunniens) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The aim of this study was to determine the microbial community composition in the rumen of yaks under different feeding regimes. Microbial communities were assessed by sequencing bacterial and archaeal 16S ribosomal RNA gene fragments obtained from yaks (
