Metagenomic analysis of the cow, sheep, reindeer and red deer rumen
Abstract The rumen microbiota comprises a community of microorganisms which specialise in the degradation of complex carbohydrates from plant-based feed. These microbes play a highly important role in ruminant nutrition and could also act as sources of industrially useful enzymes. In this study, we...

Abstract The rumen microbiota comprises a community of microorganisms which specialise in the degradation of complex carbohydrates from plant-based feed.

We constructed 391 metagenome-assembled genomes originating from 16 microbial phyla.
