Popis: Here the authors sequence 16S rRNA and the more variable gyrase B protein-coding gene to profile the gut microbiome of captive great apes, which together with analysis of wild apes and humans, reveal a displacement of bacterial strains normally restricted to their wild conspecifics with those that are otherwise restricted to humans.
