Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the fungal community (mycobiome) in Sumatran orangutans by comparing samples from wild and captive settings.
- Nine fecal samples were analyzed using advanced bioinformatics tools to identify the types of fungi present, revealing that wild orangutans mainly consist of Ascomycota, while those in captivity show some differences in fungal composition.
- Despite variations in specific genera, the overall diversity of fungi in the gut microbiomes does not significantly differ between wild and captive orangutans, suggesting that diet and environment may influence these communities differently.
Background And Aim: Orangutans are an "umbrella species" for conserving tropical forests in Sumatra and Kalimantan. There are remarkable changes between the gut microbiomes of wild and captive Sumatran orangutans. This study aimed to profile gut microbiota of wild and captive Sumatran orangutans.

The disease causes serious problems in Indonesian livestock and is classified as a serious transmissible animal disease. Previous research has determined the diversity of using a serotyping method based on the antigenic properties of capsule polysaccharides.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aim: is a bacterium that causes several infectious diseases, including mastitis, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis, and poses a threat to human and animal health. This study aims to phenotypically and genetically identify from the isolates collected from humans, animals, environment, and Dangke products in the dairy farms of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, as well as to establish a genetic relationship among the isolated strains.
Materials And Methods: The total number of samples was 142, comprising 30 humans (skin swab), 58 animals (raw milk), 14 dairy products (Dangke), and 40 environmental samples (water).
Objective: This study aimed to isolate and identify from broiler samples from Sukabumi, Indonesia. Also, antibiogram studies of the isolated bacteria were carried out considering the detection of the antibiotic resistance genes.
Materials And Methods: Cloaca swabs ( = 45) were collected from broilers in Sukabumi, Indonesia.
Aim: This research aimed to identify species isolated from preputial swabs of healthy Aceh cattle, based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene analysis.
Materials And Methods: The bacterium was isolated from preputial swabs of healthy Aceh cattle. The total DNA from the isolated bacteria was extracted using the Genomic DNA Mini Kit followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the 16S rRNA gene.
Aims: This study aimed to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in wild Sumatran orangutans to provide more information about LAB diversity derived from Sumatran orangutan feces.
Materials And Methods: Fecal sampling from three female orangutans, around 35 years old, was carried out in the wild forest areas at the research station of Suaq Belimbing Gunung Leuser National Park located in the South Aceh district. Orangutan fecal samples were taken in the morning when the orangutans first defecated.
