Comparison of maintenance energy expenditures and growth yields among several rumen bacteria grown on continuous culture.

Maintenance energy expenditures were mesured for five rumen bacteria, Selenomonas ruminantium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Bacteroides ruminicola, Megasphaera elsdenii, and Streptococcus bovis, by using a complex medium with glucose as the carbon source. Large differences (as high as 8.5-fold) in maintenance energy expenditures were seen among these bacteria. The suggestion is made that maintena...

Continuous-Culture Apparatus for Long-Term Use1

The continuous production and harvest of uncontaminated cells for periods of several months are a major requirement inthe design of a suitable culture system. Many continuous-culture units have been reported previously (1, 2), and some units are now commercially available. However, in these units, rubber, metals, and other sources of potentially toxic extractives are not prevented from direct c...

Effect of Protein Sources on Rumen Microbial Protein Synthesis Using Rumen Simulated Continuous Culture System

A rumen simulated continuous culture (RSCC) system was used to study the influence of supplementation of the three different types of protein sources such as urea, casein and soy protein on rumen microbial synthesis in terms of rumen microbial synchronization. The urea treatment showed the highest pH value. Ammonia nitrogen concentration was rapidly increased after feeding and not significantly...
