Lessons from bamboo‐eating pandas and their gut microbiome: Gut microbiome flow and applications

Abstract The giant panda is one of the most endangered mammals in the world, and many studies have revealed their evolutionary adaptation to the local environment (e.g., dietary cellulose and cyanide) on the evidences from population genetics and their gut microbiome. Here, based on the results of o...
