BMKGENE provided full-length 16s amplicon sequencing and metagenomics sequencing services for the article “Obese Ningxiang pig-derived microbiota rewires carnitine metabolism to promote muscle fatty acid deposition in lean DLY pigs”, which was published in The Innovation.
This study aimed to unveil the microbial mechanisms underlying muscle FA deposition in pigs, systematically revealed the correlation between the gut microbiome and muscle FA levels in 43 obese Ningxiang pigs and 50 lean Duroc Landrace Yorkshire (DLY) pigs.
In conclusion, this study uncovered an unexpected and important role of the obese Ningxiang pig-derived microbiota in regulating muscle FA metabolism via the SLC22A5-mediated carnitine system.
