Metagenome-assembled genomes from the rumen microbiome of cattle in Japan

A complex microbial ecosystem in rumen degrades plant materials such as cellulose and hemicellulose. Therefore, understanding of the structural and functional characteristic of the rumen microbiome help to enhance efficacy in ruminant production. Here, we sequenced the rumen microbiome of the cattle in Japan using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and reconstructed many nonredundant rumen-specific metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs).
