Comparative molecular inventory of two microbial digestive ecosystems : the rabbit caecum and the dairy cow rumen
Résumé
The present study aimed to provide a comparative inventory of the bacteria phylotypes that can be found in the rabbit caecum and in the dairy cow rumen. Detailed information of the bacterial community composition in these two digestive ecosystems were optimized using phylogenetic analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequences obtained directly from samples by amplification, cloning, and sequencing.
