High-throughput DNA sequencing of the moose rumen from different geographical locations reveals a core ruminal methanogenic archaeal diversity and a differential ciliate protozoal diversity
Ishaq, Suzanne L.; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær; Crouse, John; Wright, Andre-Denis G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-13)Moose rumen samples from Vermont, Alaska and Norway were investigated for methanogenic archaeal and protozoal density using real-time PCR, and diversity using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes. Vermont moose showed the highest protozoal and methanogen densities. Alaskan samples had the highest percentages of Methanobrevibacter smithii, followed by the Norwegian samples. One ... -
Rumen and Cecum Microbiomes in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) Are Changed in Response to a Lichen Diet and May Affect Enteric Methane Emissions
Salgado, Alejandro Flores; Hagen, Live Heldal; Ishaq, Suzanne L.; Zamanzadeh, Mirzaman; Wright, Andre-Denis G.; Pope, Phillip; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-09)Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) are large Holarctic herbivores whose heterogeneous diet has led to the development of a unique gastrointestinal microbiota, essential for the digestion of arctic flora, which may include a large proportion of lichens during winter. Lichens are rich in plant secondary metabolites, which may affect members of the gut microbial consortium, such as the methane-producing ...
