New mechanistic insight into the digestion of complex dietary fibre by rumen microbiota using combinatorial high-resolution glycomic and transcriptomic analyses
Abstract:Background
The rumen microbial community is considered the most efficient anaerobic digestive ecosystem known, yet less than half of the energy in low quality forages is actually metabolized. There is a knowledge gap regarding the specific factors that impede the ruminal digestion of plant cell walls or if rumen microbiota have the functional potential and activities to overcome these constraints. To address these issues, innovative experimental methods may provide a high-resolution understanding of the cell … Show more
