Gut microbiome of Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) Metagenome
The aim of this project is to investigate the gut microbiome of Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), a monogastric herbivore, also known as master of the grasses, which feeds on a recalcitrant diet that has digestive efficiency comparable to that of ruminants to recover enzymatic strategies of lignocelulose degradation.
