Desert tortoise fecal sample and microbial enrichment 16S rRNA gene sequencing

Tortoises are important ecological members, yet their microbiomes are not well characterized. We cultivated microbial communities from desert tortoise fecal samples and employed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to compare cultivated consortia to starting fecal communities.陆龟是重要的生态类群，但其微生物组（microbiome）的特征尚未得到充分解析。我们从沙漠陆龟的粪便样本中培养得到微生物群落，并采用16S rRNA基因测序技术，将培养得到的菌群联合体与初始粪便菌群进行对比分析。
