Abstract

Objective To investigate the diversity of intestinal microbiota of wild rodents from the central mountainous area of Hainan Island, China. Methods The high-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence the DNA extracted from fecal samples of wild rodents, and the obtained sequence data were analyzed using bioinformatic methods to investigate the composition and diversity of intestinal microbiota. Results A total of 1 569 543 valid sequences were obtained from the fecal samples of 20 wild rodents. The number of operational taxonomic units ranged from 540 to 1 274. At the phylum level, the main flora of the studied wild rodents was Firmicutes (55.83%), followed by Bacteroidetes (27.74%). At the genus level, the top 10 bacterial genera were Helicobacter, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Escherichia-Shigella, Streptococcus, Lachnospiraceae, Faecalitalea, Fusobacterium, Mycoplasma, and Romboutsia. Conclusion High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the structure of the intestinal microbiota of wild rodents in the central mountainous area of Hainan Island was complex, with abundant species and large differences among individuals. Helicobacter had the highest relative abundance in six fecal samples, which was of significance and value for further investigations.
