基于宏基因组学的野生鸟类肠道菌群研究现状

Research Status of Wild Bird Gut Microbiota Based on Metagenomics

肠道微生物对鸟类宿主至关重要,宏基因组学技术是研究野生鸟类肠道菌群的重要手段,且研究方法已较为成熟。本文对宏基因组技术在野生鸟类肠道菌群的发展现状进行了总结,并结合其在野生鸟类肠道微生物领域中的具体应用,对野生鸟类肠道微生物的组成、影响因素及肠道微生物功能进行了梳理,以期为野生鸟类尤其是濒危鸟类的保护研究提供新的方向,进一步推动宏基因组学在野生鸟类肠道菌群研究中的应用。

Gut microbiome is very important to the avian hosts.Metagenomic technology is an important means to study the gut microbiome of wild birds,and the research methods have been relatively mature.This paper summarizes the development status of metagenomic technology in the gut microflora of wild birds.Combined with the specific application of metagenomic technology in the field,the composition,influencing factors and function of gut microflora of wild birds were sorted out,and these may contribute to providing a new direction for the protection of wild birds,especially endangered birds,and promoting the application of metagenomics in studying wild bird gut flora.
