Cellulolytic Bacteria in the Foregut of the Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius)

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Foregut digesta from five feral dromedary camels were inoculated into three different enrichment media: cotton thread, filter paper, and neutral detergent fiber. A total of 283 16S rRNA gene sequences were assigned to 33 operational taxonomic units by using 99% species-level identity. LIBSHUFF revealed significant differences in the community composition across all three libraries.
