Abstract
Now, for the first time, scientists have identified some of the individual species that made up the microbiomes of these extinct mammals. The findings, published September 2 in the journal Cell, could one day lead to insights into how microbes helped or hurt the hulking creatures—including whether they played a role in the eventual demise of mammoths.
