STUDY AND PROFILING OF THE MICRO FLORA IN VULTURE POPULATIONS AT THE VULTURE CONSERVATION BREEDING CENTRE VCBC PINJORE HARYANA

Abstract

fungi, and bacteria that live in or on another living organism or in a particular habitat.The composition of microflora varies depending on the habitat in which it colonizes. Thus, for example, the microflora inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract will differ from that of the respiratory tract, oral cavity, or from the external surfaces such as skin. This newlinechapter gives an introduction to the study of microflora of the Gyps species of vultures resident in the Indian Subcontinent, with emphasis on bacterial microflora as the study subject, vultures as the host species under study and an overview of the available information on studies of bacterial microflora in vultures and other animals. newline
