Insights from metagenomics on microbial biosynthesis of vitamins B and K2 in chicken gut microbiota

IntroductionThe chicken gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in nutrient absorption and overall health, contributing to the biosynthesis of essential vitamins. However, the biosynthesis of vitamins B and K2 by the whole gut microbiome, as well as their abundances across different gut regions, remains...
