Molecular analysis of the intestinal microbiome composition of mammoth and woolly rhinoceros

A molecular analysis of the intestinal microbiome composition of mammoth and wooly rhinoceros was conducted. The presence of undigested milk in Lubas stomach and intestines can be explained by the dominance of Pseudomonas in the microbiome. Another feature of Lubas microbiome was an almost complete...

Description
Summary:A molecular analysis of the intestinal microbiome composition of mammoth and wooly rhinoceros was conducted. The presence of undigested milk in Lubas stomach and intestines can be explained by the dominance of Pseudomonas in the microbiome. Another feature of Lubas microbiome was an almost complete absence of representatives of Firmicutes, constituting the bulk of intestinal microbiome of the woolly rhinoceros, which may also reflect the differences in the diet of these animals (milk vs. plant biomass).
