鸟类肠道微生物研究进展

Advances in the Study of Bird Gut Microbes

鸟类拥有特殊的肠道结构,由于其复杂的环境和生活方式,肠道微生物群不稳定,可塑性较强。宿主的外部和内部环境的变化都会影响肠道微生物群的组成。鸟类复杂的生活史和多样化的进食习惯使肠道微生物群的变化更加复杂。因此,本文从鸟类肠道微生物与食性关系、影响鸟类肠道微生物的因素、鸟类肠道菌群的生态适应和高通量测序在鸟类肠道微生物的应用四个方面来进行综述。

Birds have a special intestinal structure, and due to their complex environment and lifestyle, the gut microbiota is unstable and malleable. Changes in both the external and internal environment of the host can affect the composition of the gut microbiota. The complex life history and diverse feeding habits of birds further complicate the changes in the gut microbiota. Therefore, this paper reviews four aspects of the relationship between avian gut microbiota and feeding habits, factors influencing gut microbial establishment in birds, ecological adaptation of avian gut flora and the application of high-throughput sequencing in avian gut microbiota.
