Animal-to-animal variation in fecal microbial diversity among beef cattle

Lisa M Durso et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

The intestinal microbiota of beef cattle are important for animal health, food safety, and methane emissions. This full-length sequencing survey of 11,171 16S rRNA genes reveals animal-to-animal variation in communities that cannot be attributed to breed, gender, diet, age, or weather. Beef communities differ from those of dairy. Core bovine taxa are identified.

Figures

FIG. 1.

Bacterial diversity of six feedlot beef cattle. Gray bars represent the percentages of all 16S sequences that were assigned to each taxonomy. Colored dots represent the percentages of 16S sequences from each library that were assigned to each taxonomic group. Asterisks indicate unclassified members of the named taxon. Panel A shows the data for the first 99% of all the sequences. Panel B shows the data for the remaining 1% of sequences. Note differences in scales for panels A and B.

FIG. 2.

Rarefaction curves for six feedlot beef cattle. OTUs were assigned at the 85% DNA sequence similarity level. For comparison purposes, all six curves were truncated after 1,321 sequences.

FIG. 3.

Phylum-level distribution of bacterial sequences from six beef feedlot cattle. Asterisks indicate unclassified members of the named taxon.
