Redundancy, resilience and host specificity of the ruminal microbiota: Implications for engineering improved ruminal fermentations
The ruminal microbial community is remarkably diverse, containing hundreds of different bacterial and archaeal species, plus many species of fungi and protozoa. Molecular studies have identified a core microbiome dominated by phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, but also containing many other taxa....
