    • 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. ...

    • Discovery and characterization of a thermostable two-domain GH6 endoglucanase from a compost metagenome 

      Jensen, Marianne Slang; Fredriksen, Lasse; Mackenzie, Alasdair; Pope, Phillip; Leiros, Ingar; Chylenski, Piotr; Williamson, Adele Kim; Christopeit, Tony; Østby, Heidi; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-24)
      Enzymatic depolymerization of recalcitrant polysaccharides plays a key role in accessing the renewable energy stored within lignocellulosic biomass, and natural biodiversities may be explored to discover microbial enzymes that have evolved to conquer this task in various environments. Here, a metagenome from a thermophilic microbial community was mined to yield a novel, thermostable cellulase, named ...

    • A first insight into the fecal microbiota of the high Arctic muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) 

      Salgado, Alejandro Flores; Bockwoldt, Mathias; Hagen, Live Heldal; Pope, Phillip; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-07-11)
      The faecal microbiota of muskoxen (n=3) pasturing on Ryøya (69° 33′ N 18° 43′ E), Norway, in late September was characterized using high-throughput sequencing of partial 16S rRNA gene regions. A total of 16 209 high-quality sequence reads from bacterial domains and 19 462 from archaea were generated. Preliminary taxonomic classifications of 806 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) resulted ...

    • 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 ...
