Lamendella, R., J. W. SANTO-DOMINGO, S. Ghosh, J. W. MARTINSON, AND D. B. Oerther. Comparative Fecal Metagenomics Unveils Unique Functional Capacity of the Swine Gut. BMC Microbiology. BioMed Central Ltd, London, Uk, 11:103-119, (2011).

Impact/Purpose:

To inform the public.

Description:

Uncovering the taxonomic composition and functional capacity within the swine gut microbial consortia is of great importance to animal physiology and health and to food and water safety due to the presence of human pathogens in pig feces. Limited information on the physiological role of microbial consortia within the swine gut is available.
