The data helped demonstrate that the microbial communities of couples sharing a house are similar, suggesting the importance of the environment in shaping an individual's microbiome.
Notably, microbial communities of captive takins clustered tightly, while communities of wild takins were more dispersed.
Moreover, the microbial communities of the anodic biofilm were sensitive to the hydrodynamic shear.
Microbial communities of anaerobic digestion have been intensively investigated in the past decades.
Results showed that the structure of microbial communities of three seeds were different.
However, the importance of microbial communities of this process was generally underestimated.
In addition, the microbial communities of anodic biofilm that alter with hydrodynamic changes were revealed.
The microbial communities of the three bioanodes were analysed by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing.
Further group-specific qPCR showed that microbial communities of the three takins were relatively similar to each other and stable during our study period, while sampling time had an appreciable effect on microbial communities of the takin.
The microbial communities of takins were mostly dominated by representatives from three phyla: Firmicutes (57.4%), Bacteroidetes (24.2%) and Proteobacteria (12.3%).
Differences in microbial communities of the mixed liquor and the membrane fouling layer were evaluated using pyrosequencing.
