Deep culturing the fecal microbiota of healthy laying hens
Deep culturing and metagenomic sequencing approaches to examine the diversity of the microbiota within an individual will yield different results. In this project we generated a culture collection of enteric bacteria from healthy laying hens that can be used to further understand the role of specific commensals within the broader microbiota context and have made this collection available to the community. Isolates from this collection can be requested by contacting the corresponding author and will be provided at cost.
