Sequencing-based analyses of microbiomes have traditionally focused on addressing the
question of community membership and profiling taxonomic abundance through amplicon …

The development of advanced biofuels from waste organic matter, such as lignocellulosic
biomass, is critical for global sustainable waste management and to delay climate change …

Rumen fermentation affects ruminants productivity and the environmental impact of ruminant
production. The release to the atmosphere of methane produced in the rumen is a loss of …

Microbial methanogenesis is a major source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4). It is the
final step in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter when inorganic electron acceptors …

Understanding the biodiversity and genetics of gut microbiomes has important implications
for host physiology and industrial enzymes, whereas most studies have been focused on …

Research on methanogenic Archaea has experienced a revival, with many novel lineages of
methanogens recently being found through cultivation and suggested via metagenomics …

National inventories of methane (CH4) emission from manure management are based on
guidelines from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change using country‐specific …

Animal microbiomes are occasionally considered as an extension of host anatomy,
physiology, and even their genomic architecture. Their compositions encompass variable …

The rumen harbors a complex microbial mixture of archaea, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi
that efficiently breakdown plant biomass and its complex dietary carbohydrates into soluble …

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing has revolutionized our ability to detect and characterize
the diversity and function of complex microbial communities. In this review, we highlight the …
