Characterisation and isolation of novel host-associated Methanocorpusculum species from native Australian herbivores

Characterisation and isolation of novel methanogenic archaea from various native Australian herbivores using 16S rRNA sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing and cultivation. Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of novel Methanocorpusculum species were also recovered from publicly available host-associated metagenomes for comparative analyses
