Fecal microbiota is more stable during degradation and more diverse for ex situ cheetahs in Namibia compared to the USA by Morgan A. Maly, Morgan A. Maly, Morgan A. Maly, Morgan A. Maly, Reade B. Roberts, Mia M. Keady, Anne Schmidt-Küntzel, Meagan Maxwell, Laurie Marker, Matthew Breen, Carly R. Muletz-Wolz, Adrienne E. Crosier

“…Overall, our findings suggest that in dry season conditions (no recorded rainfall) in Namibia, fecals may be usable for up to three days after defecation for microbial ecology studies. There are significant differences between ex situ Namibian and USA populations, and we suggest further investigation into the influence of diet, host demographics, and environment on the gut microbiota and health of cheetahs.…”

The influence of vaginal microbiota on the pregnancy outcome of artificial insemination with husband's sperm based on microscope images combined with PCR fluorescence method by Yanling Xing, Wei Wang, Na Wan, Dongmei Zhang, Mei Shan, Guan Wang

“…By observing the microbial community morphology in the sample under a microscope and analyzing microbial DNA using PCR fluorescence method, the microbial ecological status is evaluated. Among women with successful pregnancy, the proportion of beneficial bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria) is higher, while the abundance of pathogenic bacteria is significantly reduced. …”
