Understanding and controling the rumen biohydrogenation process is key step. In this project, we are testing the hypothesis that rumen biohydrogenation is a colective microbial ecological response to enviromental stress like high rumen concentration of PUFA or tannins.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Rui José Branquinho Bessa - Integrante / Rui José Branquinho de Bessa - Coordenador., Financiador(es): Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia - Auxílio financeiro.
