Gastrointestinal microbiota of seabirds

This work provided novel insight into the previously uncharacterised microbial composition of Antarctic and temperate penguins and procellariiform seabirds. Using real time PCR and 16S pyrosequencing the results identified significant inter- and intra-species differences, insight into the succession...

Description
Summary:This work provided novel insight into the previously uncharacterised microbial composition of Antarctic and temperate penguins and procellariiform seabirds. Using real time PCR and 16S pyrosequencing the results identified significant inter- and intra-species differences, insight into the successional changes that occur during development and how fasting influences microbial composition
