Response of rumen methane production and microbial community to different abatement strategies in yaks by Qian Zhang, Tongqing Guo, Xungang Wang, Lin Wei, Yalin Wang, Shanshan Li, Hongjin Liu, Na Zhao, Shixiao Xu

“…Results The results indicate that supplementing the confined feeding ration (FR group) with Sodium Nitrate (12 mmol/L, FRN group), Medicago sativa L. (25%, FRM group), and Helianthus tuberosus L. (3%, FRH group) all have the effect of reducing CH4 production from yak rumen. Among these interventions, the FRM group exhibits the most significant reduction, with a decrease in rumen CH4 production by 42.76% compared to the FR group. …”

Predicting gut microbiota dynamics in obese individuals from cross-sectional data by Ena Melvan, Ena Melvan, Andrew P. Allen, Tea Vuckovic, Irena Soljic, Antonio Starcevic

“…While gut microbiota has been linked to obesity, most research has focused on static taxonomic composition rather than the dynamic interactions between microbial taxa.MethodsWe applied BEEM-Static, a generalized Lotka-Volterra model, to cross-sectional 16S rRNA gut microbiome data from six public datasets, comprising 2,435 profiles from lean and obese individuals.ResultsA total of 57 significant microbial interactions were identified in obese individuals (79% negative), compared to 37 in lean individuals (92% negative). …”
