Exploring the diversity and community structure of the Testudines fecal mycobiome

2026-04-23

Abstract excerpt

Most gut microbiome studies have focused on bacteria, leaving a knowledge gap regarding gut associated fungi. We assessed fungal diversity in the gastrointestinal tract of the reptilian order Testudines (turtles and tortoises) using samples from 6 families, 19 genera, and 27 species. A highly diverse community affiliated with 17 phyla and 157 orders was encountered, with four phyla (Neocallimastigomycota, Chytridi...
