Ureolytic bacteria are key organisms in the rumen as they produce urease enzyme to catalyse the breakdown of urea to ammonia for the synthesis of microbial protein. However, little is known with regard to the diversity and distribution of rumen ureolytic microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the predominant ureC genes of the ureolytic bacteria in the rumen of dairy cows using high-throughput sequencing.
