A relationship between body size and the gut microbiome suggests a conservation strategy Open
A key goal of conservation is to protect the biodiversity of wild species to support their continued evolution and survival. Conservation practice has long been guided by genetic, ecological, and demographic indicators of risk. Cope’s rule…

Mining metagenomic data to gain a new insight into the gut microbial biosynthetic potential in placental mammals Open
Mammals host a remarkable diversity and abundance of gut microbes. Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in microbial genomes encode biologically active chemical products and play an important role in microbe–host interactions. Traditionally, …

Assessment of Adaptation Status of Reintroduced Equus Przewalskii Based on Comparative Analysis of Fecal Bacteria with Those of Captive E. Przewalskii, Domestic Horse and Mongolian Wild Ass Open
Intestinal microbiota play an important role in the survival of the host. However, no study to date has elucidated the adjustment of intestinal microbiota of the host during rewilding. Thus, this study aims to describe the intestinal bacte…

The Role of Intestinal Microbial Metabolites in the Immunity of Equine Animals Infected With Horse Botflies Open
The microbiota and its metabolites play an important role in regulating the host metabolism and immunity. However, the underlying mechanism is still not well studied. Thus, we conducted the LC-MS/MS analysis and RNA-seq analysis on Equus p…

Temporal Patterns of Bacterial and Viral Communities during Algae Blooms of a Reservoir in Macau Open
Compositions of microbial communities associated with blooms of algae in a storage reservoir in Macau, China were investigated between 2013 and 2016. Algae were enumerated by visible light microscopy. Profiles of organisms in water were ex…

Metagenomic Analysis of Fecal Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryota, and Virus in Przewalski's Horses Following Anthelmintic Treatment Open
Intestinal microbiota is involved in immune response and metabolism of the host. The frequent use of anthelmintic compounds for parasite expulsion causes disturbance to the equine intestinal microbiota. However, most studies were on the ef…

Secondary Metabolite Production Potential of Mangrove-Derived Streptomyces olivaceus Open
Mangroves are intertidal extreme environments with rich microbial communities. Actinobacteria are well known for producing antibiotics. The search for biosynthetic potential of Actinobacteria from mangrove environments could provide more p…

Effects of Gasterophilus pecorum infestation on the intestinal microbiota of the rewilded Przewalski’s horses in China Open
Horse botflies have been a threat to the Przewalski’s horses in the Kalamaili Nature Reserve in Xinjiang of China since their reintroduction to the original range. As larvae of these parasites could infest the intestine of a horse for mont…

Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite relates to social rank in Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys Open
Studies suggest there is a connection between adrenal cortisol production and social rank in many non-human primates. Behavioral observations have confirmed that Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) have obvious social rank…
