| Abstract | Carbohydrate Active enzymes (CAZymes), encoded by microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, play a crucial role in breakdown of complex dietary carbohydrates into components that can be absorbed by host intestinal epithelium. Bar-headed goose (Anser indicus), an herbivorous bird, has become one of the most popular wild birds for artificial rearing industries in several provinces of China. To understand how CAZymes in the gut of artificially reared Bar-headed geese are influenced by artificial diets, we describe here analysis of CAZymes from gut metagenomic data from both wild and artificially reared Bar-headed geese. A total of 172 and 215 CAZymes were found in wild and artificially reared Bar-headed geese, respectively. Glycoside hydrolases and glycosyl transferases were found to be the two most abundant categories of CAZymes in both groups. Comparative study showed a total of 22 significantly different CAZymes between wild and artificially reared group. Further, these significantly different CAZymes were observed to be specifically abundant in the Firmicutes phyla in wild group, whereas Bacteroidetes phyla in artificially reared group. These results provide a global view of CAZyme profiles of Bar-headed geese, and make an original contribution to the artificial diets management for rearing this bird. |
