Among the age groups examined in NN, microbiota of adult gibbons had greater species variation and richer community diversity than microbiota of nursing young ( 0.05), but the BJ samples were more variable than the NN (Fig. 3d). The relative abundance of 14 phyla varied significantly in samples of adults in BJ versus NN. Microbial species richness was markedly different between adult gibbons (>8 years) under distinct captive conditions. Gibbon’s GITs microbiomes contained bacteria from 30 phyla, dominated by human-associated microbial signatures: Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria. Microbial communities from the GITs of gibbons from Nanning (NN, n = 36) and Beijing (BJ, n = 20) Zoos were examined through 16S rRNA sequencing. However, the precise composition, structure, and role of the gibbon GIT microbiota remain unclear.
