There were few strong co-occurrence patterns between microbes, suggesting that major metabolic interactions are non-selective rather than specific, and could make it possible to mitigate methane emissions by developing strategies that target the few dominant methanogens.

The methanogens identified in the rumens of cattle and sheep, as well as a number of methane mitigation strategies that have been effective in vivo are described.

Comparison with the human microbiome revealed rumen-specific enrichment for genes encoding de novo synthesis of vitamin B12, ongoing evolution by gene loss and potential vertical inheritance of the rumen microbiome based on underrepresentation of markers of environmental stress.

It is difficult to conclude whether the geographical isolation between these two herds or differences between the two finishing diets directly influenced community structure in the rumen, but nine possible new species were identified from the two clone libraries, including two new species belonging to the order Methanobacteriales and a new genus/species within the orders Methanosarcinales.

The molecular diversity of rumen methanogens in sheep in Australia was investigated by using individual 16S rRNA gene libraries prepared from the rumen contents obtained from six merino sheep grazing pasture, and five sheep fed a lucerne hay-based diet.

TheRumen microbiome and cow genome could be targeted independently, by breeding low methane-emitting cows and in parallel, by investigating possible strategies that target changes in the rumen microbiome to reduce CH4 emissions in the cattle industry.

Subacute ruminal acidosis was found to significantly alter bacterial density, diversity, and community structure, warranting further investigation into the role bacteria play in SARA adaptation.
