Research Status of Wild Bird Gut Microbiota Based on Metagenomics
Gut microbiome is very important to the avian hosts.Metagenomic technology is an important means to study the gut microbiome of wild birds,and the research methods have been relatively mature.This paper summarizes the devel-opment status of metagenomic technology in the gut microflora of wild birds.Combined with the specific application of metagenomic technology in the field,the composition,influencing factors and function of gut microflora of wild birds were sorted out,and these may contribute to providing a new direction for the protection of wild birds,especially endangered birds,and promoting the application of metagenomics in studying wild bird gut flora.
