The effect of <i>Asparagopsis taxiformis</i> , <i>Ascophyllum nodosum</i> , and <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> on ruminal methanogenesis and metagenomic functional profiles <i>in vitro</i>
The application of <i>A. taxiformis</i> significantly reduced methane production <i>in vitro</i>. We showed that this reduction was linked to changes in microbial function profiles, the decline in the overall archaeal community counts, and shifts in ratios of <i>Methanobrevibacter</i> "SGMT" and "RO" clades. <i>A. nodosum</i> and <i>F. vesiculosus</i>, obtained from Scotland, also decreased methane concentration in the total gas, while the same seaweed species from Iceland did not.
