摘要： Aims Yak is a dominant ruminant, well adapted to grazing on pasture year around in the harsh climate of the 3000-meter-high Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The complex microbial community that resides within the yak rumen is responsible for fermentation and contributes to its climatic adaptation. This study aimed to characterize the rumen microbiota responses to wide seasonal variations, especially those necessary for survival in the cold seasons. Methods and Results In the present study, we performed 16s rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the seasonal variations in microbiota composition, diversity and associated volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in yak rumen. The results showed that rumen microbiota were dominated by Bacteroides (72.13%-78.54%) and Firmicutes; the relative abundance of Firmicutes was higher in summer (17.44%) than in winter (10.67%; p < 0.05). The distribution of taxa differed among spring, summer and winter rumen communities (PERMANOVA, p = 0.001), whereas other taxa (e.g., Fibrobacter, Verrucomicrobia, Anaerostipes and Paludibacter), which could potentially help overcome harsh climate conditions were observed in higher abundance during the cold spring and winter seasons. The highest total VFA concentration in the yak rumen was obtained in summer (p < 0.05), followed by spring and winter, and both positive and negative correlations between VFAs and specific genera were revealed. Conclusions Microbiota in yak rumen appear to be highly responsive to seasonal variations. Considering environmental factors, we suggest that seasonal adaptation by microbial communities in rumen enables their hosts to survive seasonal scarcity and cold stress in the spring and winter. Significance and Impact of Study The present study furthers our understanding of how microbial adaptation to seasonal variations in nutrient availability and climate may function in high plateau ruminants, providing insights into the tripartite relationship between the environment, host and microbiota.
