Peer Review #1 of "Comparative analysis of the metabolically active microbial communities in the rumen of dromedary camels under different feeding systems using total rRNA sequencing (v0.1)"
Abstract:Breakdown of plant biomass in rumen depends on interactions between bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protozoa; however, the majority of studies of the microbiome of ruminants, including the few studies of the rumen of camels, only studied one of these microbial groups. In this study, we applied total rRNA sequencing to identify active microbial communities in twenty-two solid and liquid rumen samples from eleven camels. These camels were reared at three stations that use different feeding systems: clover, hay and… Show more
