Abstract
The gut microbiota in Tibetan sheep's ruminant stomach varies across phenological phases, influencing nutrient absorption and adaptation. During the green grass period, acetic, propionic, and butyric acid concentrations in the rumen were higher than in the regreening and withered grass periods (P < 0.05). MCT1 expression peaked during regreening. Bacteroidetes dominated during the withered grass period (P < 0.01), with Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group and Prevotella most abundant in the rumen. Spatially, rumen VFA concentrations and MCT1 expression were significantly higher than in other stomachs (P < 0.05). Bacteroidetes, Prevotella and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group were dominant across the ruminant stomach. Correlations between microbiota, VFAs, and transport genes highlight the interplay of fermentation, flora, and gene expression, crucial for Tibetan sheep's adaptation to the plateau environment.
期刊介绍:
Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome-scale technologies and their application to all areas of biological investigation.
As a journal that has evolved with the field that carries its name, Genomics focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge methods, addressing fundamental questions with potential interest to a wide audience. Our aim is to publish the highest quality research and to provide authors with rapid, fair and accurate review and publication of manuscripts falling within our scope.
