Comprehensive genetic analysis of the first near-complete genome of bovine coronavirus and partial genome of bovine rotavirus in Türkiye through metagenomics.

Obtaining the complete or near-complete genome sequence of pathogens is becoming increasingly crucial for epidemiology, virology, clinical science and practice. This study aimed to detect viruses and conduct genetic characterization of genomes using metagenomics in order to identify the viral agents responsible for a calf's diarrhoea. The findings showed that bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and bovine rotavirus (BRV) are the primary viral agents responsible for the calf's diarrhoea.

Bioaugmentation of anaerobic digesters with the enriched lignin-degrading microbial consortia through a metagenomic approach.

The recalcitrance of lignin impedes the efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, hindering the efficient production of biogas and value-added materials. Despite the emergence of anaerobic digestion as a superior alternative to the aerobic method for lignin processing, achieving its feasibility requires thorough characterization of lignin-degrading anaerobic microorganisms, assessment of their biomethane production potential, and a comprehensive understanding of the degradation pathway. This study aimed to address the aforementioned necessities by bioaugmenting seed sludge with three distinct enriched lignin-degrading microbial consortia at both 25 °C and 37 °C.

Is a floodplain forest a valuable source for lignin-degrading anaerobic microbial communities: A metagenomic approach.

Lignin is one of the most substantial obstacles in the evaluation of lignocellulosic compounds. Although there are numerous approaches for the enhancement of lignin digestion in the literature, there has yet to be an optimized system to date. In this study, samples taken from Igneada floodplain forests were enriched anaerobically at 25 °C and 37 °C, with alkali lignin as the sole carbon source.
