    • The Bacterial Microbiome in the Small Intestine of Hooded Seals (Cystophora cristata) 

      Acquarone, Mario; Salgado-Flores, Alejandro; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-27)
      Arctic hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) are monogastric carnivores that go through extreme fasting and re-feeding in early life. They are born isolated on sea ice; suckle high-fat milk for four days and may then fast for up to one month before they start hunting and feeding on small prey (fish and crustaceans). Previous studies of the gut microbiota in pinnipeds have focused on the large intestine, ...

    • Characterization of the cecum microbiome from wild and captive rock ptarmigans indigenous to Arctic Norway 

      Salgado-Flores, Alejandro; Tveit, Alexander Tøsdal; Wright, A-D; Pope, Phillip; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-11)
      Rock ptarmigans (<i>Lagopus muta</i>) are gallinaceous birds inhabiting arctic and sub-arctic environments. Their diet varies by season, including plants or plant parts of high nutritional value, but also toxic plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). Little is known about the microbes driving organic matter decomposition in the cecum of ptarmigans, especially the last steps leading to methanogenesis. ...

    • A Comparative Study on the Faecal Bacterial Community and Potential Zoonotic Bacteria of Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) in Northeast Greenland, Northwest Greenland and Norway 

      Andersen-Ranberg, Emilie; Barnes, Christopher J; Rasmussen, Linett; Salgado-Flores, Alejandro; Grøndahl, Carsten; Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Hansen, Anders J.; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær; Schmidt, Niels Martin; Christian, Sonne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-25)
      Muskoxen (<i>Ovibos moschatus</i>) are ruminants adapted to a high-fibre diet. There is increasing interest in the role that gut microbes play in the digestion and utilization of these specialized diets but only limited data available on the gut microbiome of high-Arctic animals. In this study, we metabarcoded the 16S rRNA region of faecal samples from muskoxen of Northeast Greenland, Northwest ...
