Insights from metagenomics on microbial biosynthesis of vitamins B and K2 in chicken gut microbiota
This study provides detailed metagenomic insights into the capacity of chicken gut microbiome for vitamins B and K<sub>2</sub> biosynthesis, revealing significant regional and taxonomic variations. These results suggest a collaborative microbial effort in vitamin biosynthesis, with potential implications for optimizing poultry health and nutrition through targeted microbial interventions.
