Whole Genome Metagenomic Comparison of Microbial Communities and Activities in Solid and Liquid Rumen Microenvironments in Beef Steers
Previous research has established distinctions between microbial communities that associate with either the solid or liquid rumen microenvironments utilizing 16S rRNA sequencing. Whole genome metagenomic sequencing (WGS) facilitates comprehensive analysis of a microorganism’s entire genome, producing strain level data...
