Cellulolytic and non-cellulolytic bacteria in rat gastrointestinal tracts.
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species were the predominant organisms isolated from small intestinal (jejunal) contents of rats, and lactic acid was the only organic acid detected. The numbers of cellulolytic bacteria in small intestines were low (approximately 10(3)/g). The fermentation in ceca was different from that in intestines, as, in addition to small amounts of lactic acid, high conc...
متن کاملCompetition among three predominant ruminal cellulolytic bacteria in the absence or presence of non-cellulolytic bacteria.
Competition among three species of ruminal cellulolytic bacteria - Fibrobacter succinogenes S85, Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1 and Ruminococcus albus 7 - was studied in the presence or absence of the non-cellulolytic ruminal bacteria Selenomonas ruminantium or Streptococcus bovis. Co-cultures were grown under either batch or continuous conditions and populations were estimated using species-sp...
متن کاملUnravelling carbon metabolism in anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria.
Carbon metabolism in anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria has been investigated essentially in Clostridium thermocellum, Clostridium cellulolyticum, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Ruminococcus albus. While cellulose depolymerization into soluble sugars by various cellulases is undoubtedly the first step in bacterial metabolisation of cellulose, it is not the only one to con...
متن کاملCellulolytic activity and structure of symbiotic bacteria in locust guts.
Locusts are able to digest the cellulose of Gramineae plants, resulting in their being considered as major crop pests. To illustrate the mechanism involved in cellulose digestion, the cellulolytic activity and zymography in the gut contents of 16 locust species were determined using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as substrate. The diversity of gut symbiotic bacteria was studied using denaturing ...
