Multi-omics analysis reveals the core microbiome and biomarker for nutrition degradation in alfalfa silage fermentation
Silage fermentation is a microbial-driven anaerobic process that efficiently converts various substrates into nutrients readily absorbable and metabolizable by ruminant animals. This study, integrating culturomics and metagenomics, has successfully identified core microorganisms involved in silage fermentation, including those at low abundance. This discovery is crucial for the targeted cultivation of specific microorganisms to optimize fermentation processes. Furthermore, our research has uncovered signature microorganisms that play pivotal roles in nutrient metabolism, significantly advancing our understanding of the intricate relationships between microbial communities and nutrient degradation during silage fermentation.
