16S rRNA sequencing of gut contents from mice that received fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using the gut contents from Putian Black pigs and commercial three-way crossbred pigs
Nutritional and environmental factors significantly influence the deposition of intramuscular fat in pigs. In this experiment, fecal microbiota from Putian Black pigs and lean-type commercial three-way crossbred pigs (Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire) were transplanted into the guts of mice. By conducting 16S rRNA sequencing and metagenomic sequencing on the gut contents of these mice, we aim to investigate differential bacterial species and functional pathways within the gut microbiota. The objective is to screen for potential bacterial species that may influence intramuscular fat deposition in pigs. The data presented here were obtained from 16S rRNA sequencing of the gut contents of the recipient mice.
