Circadian rhythms of oral and anal microflora in the penguin Pygoscelis papua
Penguins have complex microflora in their mouths and anuses, which play important roles in growth and development, digestion and absorption, metabolism, and immunity. In this study, high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the oral and anal microflora of three female and three male gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins.
