bat metagenome
This project investigated the microbial diversity of bat fecal samples collected non-invasively beneath bat roosts in Kilombero District, Tanzania. DNA extracted from fecal samples was subjected to shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The study aimed to characterize viral, bacterial and eukaryotic pathogens present in the bat fecal microbiome and evaluate their potential zoonotic significance.
