V4 region of 16S rRNA gene sequence reads of guinea pig cecum microbiota with fasting treatment
The current study used a Metataxonomic approach to compare the cecum microbiota of the Andina, Inti, and Peru breeds of guinea pigs with fasting treatment, applying the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene MiSeq high throughput sequencing technology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cecum microbiota, demonstrating the comparison in bacterial composition and diversity between the cecum microbiota of these breeds with fasting treatment, which is important for the potential discovery of probiotics and microbial biomarkers that may be shared or present in one of these breeds.
