Project description:De novo assembly of a non-model species transcriptome using Illumina data: assembly performance dependent on method used upon the snail transcriptome (Radix balthica, Pulmonata, Basommatophora).
Project description:Origanum oil (ORO), garlic oil (GAO), and peppermint oil (PEO) were shown to effectively lower methane production, decrease abundance of methanogens, and change abundances of several bacterial populations important to feed digestion in vitro. In this study, the impact of these essential oils (EOs, at 0.50 g/L), on the rumen bacterial community composition was further examined using the recently developed RumenBactArray.
