    • Characterization of the gut microbiome of hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) 

      Acquarone, Mario; Salgado, Alejandro Flores; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-03-14)

    • A first insight into the fecal microbiota of the high Arctic muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) 

      Salgado, Alejandro Flores; Bockwoldt, Mathias; Hagen, Live Heldal; Pope, Phillip; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-07-11)
      The faecal microbiota of muskoxen (n=3) pasturing on Ryøya (69° 33′ N 18° 43′ E), Norway, in late September was characterized using high-throughput sequencing of partial 16S rRNA gene regions. A total of 16 209 high-quality sequence reads from bacterial domains and 19 462 from archaea were generated. Preliminary taxonomic classifications of 806 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) resulted ...

    • Gut metagenomics in relation to diet and methanogenesis in arctic herbivores 

      Salgado, Alejandro Flores (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-06-01)
      Enteric methane (CH4) from gut microbial fermentation of complex organic polymers in ruminants comprises an important source of the anthropogenic CH4 emissions and may also represent a significant loss of metabolic energy to the host animal depending on diet. CH4 is produced by specialized microbes called methanogens. Extensive research exists on enteric CH4 production and methanogens in domestic ...

    • Rumen and Cecum Microbiomes in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) Are Changed in Response to a Lichen Diet and May Affect Enteric Methane Emissions 

      Salgado, Alejandro Flores; Hagen, Live Heldal; Ishaq, Suzanne L.; Zamanzadeh, Mirzaman; Wright, Andre-Denis G.; Pope, Phillip; Sundset, Monica Alterskjær (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-09)
      Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) are large Holarctic herbivores whose heterogeneous diet has led to the development of a unique gastrointestinal microbiota, essential for the digestion of arctic flora, which may include a large proportion of lichens during winter. Lichens are rich in plant secondary metabolites, which may affect members of the gut microbial consortium, such as the methane-producing ...
