Overview

Analysis reveals shifts in gut microbiota diversity and metabolism in giant pandas post-reintroduction, suggesting crucial adaptation.

Key Points

  • Gut microbiota diversity was significantly higher during the stable period than in the training period.
  • Streptococcus was enriched during training, while Clostridium increased significantly in the stable period.
  • Carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism decreased, while pathways for vitamins and energy metabolism became enriched during stability.
  • The first three months post-release are essential for digestive adaptation in reintroduced giant pandas.
