Abstract:[Objective] The diversity of the glycosyl hydrolase family 10 (GH10) xylanase gene of fecal microorganism of Rhinopithecus bieti is studied. [Methods] Using the genomic DNA extracted from the feces of wild and half-wild R. bieti as template, we amplified xylanase gene fragments by degenerate primer of GH10 xylanase. Bacteria clone library is constructed and analyzed using pMD19-T vector. [Results] From fecal microbial clone library of wild and half-wild R. bieti 26 and 28 GH10 xylanase gene fragments are respectively acquired, whose identity with xylanase sequences in GenBank varies from 58%?95% to 63%?81%. Blast results shows that microbial composition of GH10 xylanase from two different environments is similar, including the Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and uncultured bacteria. GH10 xylanase gene of fecal microbiome of wild R. bieti derives from Uncultured bacterium, Butyrivibrio, Bacteroides, Ruminococcus, Sphingobacterium, Chryseobacterium, Clostridium, Bacillus, while that of half-wild R. bieti only from Uncultured bacterium, Clostridium, Paludibacter, Sphingobacterium, Ruminococcus, Roseburia, Chryseobacterium. There is GH10 xylanase existing in both environments, including Ruminococcus, Clostridium, Chryseobacterium, Sphingobacterium. [Conclusion] There are abundant GH10 xylanase genes in fecal microorganism of wild and half-wild R. bieti and there is some difference in their microbial sources. This research enriches the diversity of GH10 xylanase in animal gastrointestinal tract as well as sets foundations for the exploitation of novel xylanase and the utilization of microbial resources in R. bieti’s gastrointestinal tract.
