Salmon gut microbiota correlates with disease infection status: potential for monitoring health in farmed animals

Davide Bozzi, Jacob Agerbo Rasmussen, Christian Carøe et al. · 20 Apr 2021

BACKGROUND: Infectious diseases cause significant production losses in aquaculture every year. Since the gut microbiota plays an essential role in regulating the host immune system, health and physiology, altered gut microbiota compositions are often associated with a diseased status. However, few studies have examined the association between disease severity and degree of gut dysbiosis, especially…

Effect of the macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis on methane production and rumen microbiome assemblage

Breanna M. Roque, Charles Brooke, Joshua Ladau et al. · 12 Feb 2019

Recent studies using batch-fermentation suggest that the red macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis has the potential to reduce methane (CH 4 ) production from beef cattle by up to ~ 99% when added to Rhodes grass hay; a common feed in the Australian beef industry. These experiments have shown significant reductions in CH 4 without compromising other…

The gut microbiome of horses: current research on equine enteral microbiota and future perspectives

Anne Kauter, Lennard Epping, Torsten Semmler et al. · 13 Nov 2019

Understanding the complex interactions of microbial communities including bacteria, archaea, parasites, viruses and fungi of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) associated with states of either health or disease is still an expanding research field in both, human and veterinary medicine. GIT disorders and their consequences are among the most important diseases of domesticated Equidae, but current…

Differential response of digesta- and mucosa-associated intestinal microbiota to dietary insect meal during the seawater phase of Atlantic salmon

Yanxian Li, Leonardo Bruni, Alexander Jaramillo-Torres et al. · 7 Jan 2021

BACKGROUND: Intestinal digesta is commonly used for studying responses of microbiota to dietary shifts, yet evidence is accumulating that it represents an incomplete view of the intestinal microbiota. The present work aims to investigate the differences between digesta- and mucosa-associated intestinal microbiota in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and how they may respond differently to dietary…

Metagenomics reveals differences in microbial composition and metabolic functions in the rumen of dairy cows with different residual feed intake

Yun‐Yi Xie, Hui‐Zeng Sun, Ming‐Yuan Xue et al. · 8 Mar 2022

BACKGROUND: Rumen microbial composition and functions have vital roles in feed digestion and fermentation and are linked to feed efficiency in cattle. This study selected Holstein cows, which are high in both milk protein content and milk yield, to analyse the relationship between the rumen microbiota and residual feed intake (RFI). Eighteen multiparous lactating cows…

Animal Microbiome template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Animal Microbiome format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Animal Microbiome template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Animal Microbiome use?
Animal Microbiome uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Animal Microbiome. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Animal Microbiome?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Animal Microbiome document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Animal Microbiome template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Animal Microbiome format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Animal Microbiome?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Animal Microbiome PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Animal Microbiome template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Animal Microbiome template cost?
You can start writing in the Animal Microbiome template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Animal Microbiome PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
