Cecal Microbiome Analyses on Wild Japanese Rock Ptarmigans (Lagopus muta japonica) Reveals High Level of Coexistence of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Lactate-Utilizing Bacteria

Preservation of indigenous gastrointestinal microbiota is critical for successful captive breeding of endangered wild animals, yet its biology is poorly understood.Here, we compared the cecal microbial composition of wild 1.29x4 living Japanese rock ptarmigans (Lagopus muta japonica) in different locations of Japanese mountains, and the dominant ce
