Fungal diversity of Siberian musk deer and forest musk deer feces in winter and summer

The influence of gut microbiota on host health depends on factors such as diet, environment, and host. Illumina MiSeq platform was used to sequence the ITS segment of the fecal fungi of Siberian musk deer and forest musk deer in winter and summer in order to explore the structural characteristics of fungal community and determine the influence of seasonal factors on the fungal diversity. The results showed that Ascomycota in the feces of forest musk deer and Siberian musk deer was dominant, and the relative abundance was not significantly differernt in both animal species and nearly unchanging seasonally. However, the both animals showed great differences in fungal α-diversity and β-diversity. It was also showed that the diversity of fungi in the feces of Siberian musk deer and forest musk deer in winter was higher than that in summer, and there were significant differences in the richness of the microbiota. Seasonally, the relative abundances of Mortierellomycota in the gut fungi of Siberian musk deer were significantly different. This is the first report on the composition of the fungal community in the feces of Siberian musk deer, providing reference for searching the nutritional level of musk deer.
