Metagenomic Insights from NGS into Water and Soil Microbiomes Surrounding the Temuan Orang Asli Communities of Serendah, Malaysia

The Orang Asli have a profound knowledge of the forest and its resources which are shaped by the complex microbial communities present in the soil and water sources around their settlements. However, there is a significant gap in the understanding of the environmental microbiome associated with Orang Asli communities. Investigating the diversity and composition of these microbial communities could provide insights into the intricate relationships between the Orang Asli and their surrounding ecosystems

奥朗阿斯利（Orang Asli）族群对森林及其各类资源拥有精深的认知，而这些资源的属性受到定居点周边土壤与水源中复杂微生物群落的塑造。然而，当前针对与奥朗阿斯利族群相关的环境微生物组（environmental microbiome）的认知仍存在显著研究空白。对这些微生物群落的多样性与组成展开调查研究，将有助于深入解析奥朗阿斯利族群与其周边生态系统之间错综复杂的关联。
