Summary: The Hologenome is an evolutionary concept where both the host and its associated microorganisms (microbiota) form a cohesive biological entity known as holobiont, whose interaction a!ects the development and general fitness of the hologenome, considered an independent level of selection, In ruminants, microbial fermentation in the rumen produces methane as a by-product, a greenhouse gas with a high environmental impact.
