The rumen microbiota provides essential services to its host and, through its role in ruminant production, contributes to human nutrition and food security. A thorough knowledge of the genetic potential of rumen microbes will provide opportunities for improving the sustainability of ruminant production systems. The availability of gene reference catalogs from gut microbiomes has advanced the understanding of the role of the microbiota in health and disease in humans and other mammals. In this work, we established a catalog of reference prokaryote genes from the bovine rumen.

来自牛瘤胃的微生物基因目录揭示了一个专门的、多样化的生物质降解环境。

瘤胃微生物群为其宿主提供基本服务，并通过其在反刍动物生产中的作用，为人类营养和粮食安全做出贡献。对瘤胃微生物遗传潜力的全面了解将为提高反刍动物生产系统的可持续性提供机会。来自肠道微生物组的基因参考目录的可用性促进了对微生物群在人类和其他哺乳动物的健康和疾病中的作用的理解。在这项工作中，我们建立了一个来自牛瘤胃的参考原核生物基因目录。
