We found that panda gut microbiome composition shifted dramatically after translocation: in the captive panda gut microbiome, Enterobacteriaceae dominated, while in the wild panda gut microbiome, Pseudomonadaceae dominated. More "wild" gut microbes were identified in the wild and semi-wild translocated ...

As one of the “vulnerable of extinction animals,” the giant panda is a symbol of wildlife conservation. The metagenomic analysis provides insight into not only the microbial composition but also the metabolic potential of the gut microbiome in giant pandas. Several studies based on metagenomic dat...
The gut microbiome is essential for the host’s health and serves as an essential reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). We investigated the effects of different factors, including the dietary shifts and age, on the functional characteristics of the giant panda’s gut microbiome (GPs) ...
The host's health is profoundly influenced by the gut microbiome, which acts as a crucial reservoir for ARGs. Food is a major influence on the gut microbes of animals (Scholz et al. 2020). Thus, bamboo phyllosphere microorganisms also may influence the giant panda gut microbiome (Jin et...
Changes in enzyme function can well reflect the interactions between the gut microbiome and diet. For example, the level of amylase activity in the digestive system of giant pandas increases, and giant pandas have a good ability to digest this nutrient, which is also reflected in the function ...
[47]. As a consequence, interpreting these changes as evidence of diet per se structuring the microbiome is likely an oversimplification. Numerous mammals host gut communities contrary to the general pattern of convergence by diet. Panda bears, despite being strict herbivores, host gut microbiomes ...
