Metagenomic Comparison of Gut Microbes of <i>Lemur catta</i> in Captive and Semi-Free-Range Environments by Chunzhong Xu, Xinzi Guo, Lian Li

“…In contrast, microbial genera associated with fiber degradation and short-chain fatty acid production in the FR group were significantly elevated (<i>Faecalibacterium</i>, <i>Roseburia</i>, and <i>Megamonas</i>) as compared to the CB group. Environmental variations between the two rearing systems led to distinct profiles in microbial functions and carbohydrate-active enzyme gene composition. …”
