The transcriptome of the rumen ciliate Entodinium caudatum reveals some of its metabolic features

Abstract Background Rumen ciliates play important roles in rumen function by digesting and fermenting feed and shaping the rumen microbiome. However, they remain poorly understood due to the lack of definitive direct evidence without influence by prokaryotes (including symbionts) in co-cultures or t...
