The complex gut microbiota plays a key role in host metabolism and health. However, the core microbial communities in the different aged Bactrian camels remain totally unclear. We used high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to examine the temporal variability of the fecal microbiota in Bactrian camels. At 2 months of age, the fecal microbiota was composed of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. At 1 and 3 years of age, the fecal microbiota was dominated by Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, ...[more]
