Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbial Composition and Functions in Przewalski's Gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) From Various Habitats.

ABSTRACT: Gut microbiota of mammals participates in host nutrient metabolism and plays an important role in host adaptation to the environment. Herein, to understand the relationship between environment differences and the composition and abundance of the gut microbiota of Przewalski's gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) in almost all its habitats, high throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to compared the characteristics of the gut microbiota based on total 120 fecal samples. The results showed that Przewalski's gazelle exhibited different characteristics of microbiota diversity in different habitats. The Jiangxigou Rescue Station (JX), Nongchang (NC), and Ganzihe and Haergai townships (GH) groups had a relatively high microbiota diversity, while the Niaodao scenic area (ND) group h
