16S rRNA-Based Tag Pyrosequencing of Complex Food and Wastewater Environments: Microbial Diversity and Dynamics
(2012-02-14)Environmental microbiology has traditionally been performed using culture-based methods. However, in the last few decades, the emergence of molecular methods has changed the field considerably. The latest development in ... -
An Exploration of Biological Mechanisms that Impact Intake and Feed Efficiency in the Grazing Animal
(2013-05-21)Biological mechanisms that potentially contribute to residual feed intake (RFI) have not been fully understood in the grazing animal. The objective of this study was to determine the differences of RFI measured in confinement ... -
Effect of Post-extraction Algal Residue Supplementation on the Therumen Microbiome of Steers Consuming Low-quality Forage
(2013-06-07)The rumen microbiome is a dynamic environment consisting of bacteria, protist, and fungi responsible for fiber degradation. Advances in molecular techniques have enabled description of bacterial microbiome via pyrosequencing. ... -
Foodborne Sources of Bacteria Associated With Human Obesity
(2009-09-30)Recently published research has suggested that the microbial ecology of the digestive system may play a role in obesity. Obese people have been shown to have a higher proportion of bacteria from the Firmicutes division and ... -
Impact of Two Water Management Systems on Arsenic Speciation and Microbial Populations in Rice Rhizosphere
(2012-02-14)Arsenic (As) is a problem with rice production systems throughout the world as high As concentrations are reported in rice grains originating from several parts of the world. This characteristic is mainly due to the ... -
Influence of Dietary Starch Inclusion on Cecal Environment and Microbial Populations in Horses
(2013-08-07)Previous research has documented shifts in microbial hindgut populations resulting from dietary starch inclusion, and recent evidence indicates only 30% of equine cecal contents has been cultured successfully. Next generation ...
