MIXED FERMENTATION OF LACTIPLANTIBACILLUS PLANTARUM AND BACILLUS LICHENIFORMIS CHANGED THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, BACTERIAL COMMUNITY, AND RUMEN DEGRADATION RATE OF TEA RESIDUE

Mixed Fermentation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bacillus licheniformis Changed the Chemical Composition, Bacterial Community, and Rumen Degradation Rate of Tea Residue

Tea residue, as a byproduct in tea processing, is highly nutritious and can be used as a good raw material for ruminant feed.This study aimed to investigate the effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L.plantarum) and Bacillus licheniformis (B.licheniformis) mixed fermentation of tea residue mixture (tea residue:wheat bran, 7:3) on chemical compo

Bacterial Communities of Mojave Desert Biological Soil Crusts Are Shaped by Dominant Photoautotrophs and the Presence of Hypolithic Niches

Biocrust communities are often heterogeneous and affected by small-scale environmental features, including both physical and biotic factors.The presence of moss in biocrusts, for example, is likely to create a set of physical conditions distinct from those found in microbial biocrusts that lack mosses.Similarly, hypolithic organisms living under an

Accurate Sex Identification of Ancient Elephant and Other Animal Remains Using Low-Coverage DNA Shotgun Sequencing Data

Sex identification of ancient animal biological remains can benefit our understanding of historical population structure, demography and social behavior.Traditional methods for sex identification (e.g., osteological and morphometric comparisons) may be ineffective when animal remains are not well preserved, when sex distinguishing characteristics h
