The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding milk replacer (MR) with two different antibiotics treatments on the gut microbiota of pre-weaning calves. Twelve (12) Holstein male calves at 1-day-old were randomly assigned to: milk replacer without antibiotics (CON), milk replacer plus low cocktail of antibiotics (LCA) concentration (penicillin 0.024 mg/L, streptomycin 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on symbiotic strains of rhizobia associated with medicinal and sand-fixation plants in temperate China, highlighting a specific high-efficiency strain (CCBAU01603) that can nodulate AC plants.
  • Whole genome sequencing was performed on multiple strains to investigate their genomic characteristics and host preferences, revealing that type III secretion systems (T3SS) evolved irregularly among AC rhizobia.
  • Key elements such as T1SS, hydrogenase systems, and T3SS are proposed as factors influencing nodule formation and nitrogen fixation efficiency in these strains, underscoring their specificity in cross-nodulation.
