Résumé en langage clair
Rumen microbes play a vital role in the production efficiency, health status and enteric methane production in ruminants. Various technologies are emerging to reveal the structural composition and metabolic function of microbial communities in rumen ecosystems. This article reviews recent advances in rumen microbial composition, genomic function and metabolism in ruminants with the use of omics technologies such as metagenome, metatranscriptome, metaproteome and metabolomics. Results from this review indicate that increasing use of these omics methods combining with the continuous development of instrumental analysis and bioinformatics technology are powerful tools to further understand the complicated and dynamic rumen microbiome and their metabolisms, leading to development of effective approach to positively regulate rumen metabolism.
Résumé
Rumen microbes play a vital role in the production efficiency, health status of ruminants and greenhouse gas emissions. It is hot spots and highlights that the different research methods are used to reveal the structural composition and metabolic function of microbial communities in rumen ecosystems. This article reviews recent advances in rumen microbial composition, genomic function and metabolism in ruminants using omics technologies (metagenome, metatranscriptome, metaproteome and metabolomics) combined with evolving instrumental analysis and bioinformatics technologies. It aims to provide new technical methods and theoretical basis for further regulating rumen microbiome to improve ruminant production and reduce environmental pollution.
