Characterization of the gastrointestinal microbiome of the Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)
We analyzed ten healthy eleven-week-old RjHan: AURA hamsters fed a pelleted standard diet. Their gastrointestinal content was sampled (i.e., forestomach, glandular stomach, ileum, cecum, and colon) and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of the V3-/V4-Region.
