OverviewAI-generated summary

Samantha Howe's research focuses on the composition, diversity, and functional roles of microbial communities, particularly the gut microbiome, in livestock and other animals. Her work utilizes culturomics and metagenomic approaches to investigate bacterial and archaeal populations. She has explored the impact of weaning on gut dysfunction and archaeal community structure in pigs, as well as the metabolic pathways of these microorganisms. Howe's publications also address the application of absolute bacterial quantification in microbiome studies and the cultivation of diverse swine gut bacteria for isolation purposes. She has published on the underestimation of archaea in livestock animals and the critical role of culturomics in understanding host-microbiota interactions. Howe has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station on multiple publications.
