Environmental Altitude and Host Genetics Shape Divergent Microbiota and a Conserved Resistome in Porcine Intestinal Niches
> 0.05) suggesting that, although some descriptive differences were observed, the independent effect of altitude weakens when the genetic effect is taken into account. Furthermore, carbohydrate-active enzymes (e.g., CBM13, GH33) correlated positively with ARG abundance. In conclusion, the jejunum appears to act as an environmentally responsive niche, while the cecum exhibits a higher ARG abundance that is closely associated with the host breed.
