Investigating the gut bacteria structure and function of hibernating bats through 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing and culturomics

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota of bats is vital for their roles in health and the ecosystem, yet studies on hibernating bats in southwest China, particularly in the unique karst landscape of Guizhou, are limited. We captured three hibernating bat species—Pipistrellus (PB), Rhinolophus (RB), and Myotis...
