microbe of the monkey

The purpose of this study is to explore the gut microbiota of the endangered monkey (Trachypithecus francoisi) and understand how seasonal changes affect its composition. By examining the gut bacterial and fungal communities through 16S and ITS analysis, we aim to reveal the impact of seasonal variations on these microbes. This research is not only crucial for the conservation of this primate species but also provides insights into the complex interactions between diet, gut microbiota, and host health.
