Protozoal populations drive system-wide variation in the rumen microbiome - Nature Communications Here, the authors reveal that protozoal communities shape rumen microbiome structure, offering fresh insights into how these complex communities coordinate essential metabolic tasks across multiple mi...

Back in 1962 microscopy was used to pen a hypothesis about eukaryote-microbe relationships. ~65 years later we have coupled the latest advancements in long read MetaG, MetaP and EUK SAGs to help explain what this means for wider rumen microbiome function www.nature.com/articles/s41...
