Abstract

ABSTRACT The composition of the methanogenic archaeal community in the foregut contents of Tammar wallabies ( Macropus eugenii ) was studied using 16S rRNA and methyl coenzyme reductase subunit A ( mcrA ) gene clone libraries. Methanogens belonging to the Methanobacteriales and a well-supported cluster of uncultivated archaeon sequences previously observed in the ovine and bovine rumens were found. Methanogen densities ranged from 7.0 × 10 5 and 3.9 × 10 6 cells per gram of wet weight.
