Despite the growing interest in the ruminants' gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiomes' ability to degrade plant materials by animal husbandry and industrial sectors, only a few studies addressed browsing ruminants. The present work describes the taxonomic and functional profile of the bacterial and archaeal communities from five different gastrointestinal sections (rumen, omasum-abomasum, jejunum, cecum and colon) of browsing Capra hircus, by metabarcoding using 16S rRNA genes hypervariable regions. The bacterial communities across the GITs are mainly composed of Bacillota and Bacteroidota. Prevotella was the leading bacterial group found in the stomachs, Romboutsia in the jejuna, and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Bacteroides, UCG-010_ge, UCG-005, and Alistipes in large intestines. The archaeal communities in the stomachs and jejuna revealed to be mainly composed of Methanobrevibacter, while in the large intestines its dominance is shared with Methanocorpusculum. Across the GITs, the main metabolic functions were related to carbohydrate, amino acid, and energy metabolisms. Significant differences in the composition and potential biological functions of the bacterial communities were observed among stomachs, jejuna and large intestines. In contrast, significant differences were observed among stomachs and jejuna verse large intestines for archaeal communities. Overall different regions of the GIT are occupied by different microbial communities performing distinct biological functions. A high variety of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) indispensable for degrading plant cell wall materials were predicted to be present in all the GIT sections.
尽管畜牧业和工业部门越来越关注反刍动物胃肠道 (GIT) 微生物组降解植物物质的能力,但只有少数研究涉及食草反刍动物。本研究通过使用 16S rRNA 基因高变区的宏条形码技术,描述了来自 5 个不同胃肠道部位(瘤胃、网胃-皱胃、空肠、盲肠和结肠)的食草 Capra hircus 的细菌和古菌群落的分类和功能特征。整个 GIT 的细菌群落主要由 Bacillota 和 Bacteroidota 组成。在胃中,普雷沃氏菌是主要的细菌群体,在空肠中,罗姆布氏菌是主要的细菌群体,而在大肠中,Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group、拟杆菌、UCG-010_ge、UCG-005 和 Alistipes 是主要的细菌群体。胃和空肠中的古菌群落主要由甲烷短杆菌组成,而在大肠中,其优势与甲烷球菌共享。在整个 GIT 中,主要的代谢功能与碳水化合物、氨基酸和能量代谢有关。在胃、空肠和大肠中观察到细菌群落的组成和潜在生物学功能存在显著差异。相比之下,在胃和空肠与大肠之间观察到古菌群落的显著差异。总的来说,GIT 的不同区域被不同的微生物群落占据,执行不同的生物学功能。预测所有 GIT 部位都存在大量糖苷水解酶 (GHs),这些酶对降解植物细胞壁物质是必不可少的。
