Catabolism of Amino Acids by Megasphaera elsdenii LC1.
نویسنده
چکیده
The amino acids in an acid hydrolysate of casein were catabolized more extensively by Megasphaera elsdenii than those in an enzymic hydrolysate. Threonine and serine were most actively degraded, but no resultant increase in growth yield occurred. Branched-chain volatile fatty acid production, which increased as the dilution rate of a glucose-limited chemostat decreased, seemed to be associated with maintenance rather than with growth.

Nutritional Interdependence Among Rumen Bacteria, Bacteroides amylophilus, Megasphaera elsdenii, and Ruminococcus albus.
Nutritional interdependence among three representatives of rumen bacteria, Bacteroides amylophilus, Megasphaera elsdenii, and Ruminococcus albus, was studied with a basal medium consisting of minerals, vitamins, cysteine hydrochloride, and NH(4). B. amylophilus grew well in the basal medium supplemented with starch and produced branched-chain amino acids after growth ceased. When cocultured wit...
متن کاملEffects of an Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract and other factors on lactate utilization by the ruminal bacterium Megasphaera elsdenii.
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract (Amaferm) as well as other factors on lactate utilization by the ruminal bacterium Megasphaera elsdenii B159. Addition of Amaferm or a filter-sterilized Amaferm filtrate stimulated L-lactate uptake by both M. elsdenii and the ruminal selenomonad strain H18. Growth of M. elsdenii in medium that...
متن کاملThe enrichment of a ruminal bacterium (Megasphaera elsdenii YJ-4) that produces the trans-10, cis-12 isomer of conjugated linoleic acid.
AIMS To isolate predominant ruminal bacteria that produce trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from linoleic acid (LA). METHODS AND RESULTS Mixed bacteria from ruminal contents of a cow fed grain were enriched with DL-lactate and trypticase. They produced more trans-10, cis-12 CLA than those that were not enriched (7 vs 2 microg mg protein(-1), P < 0.05). Enrichments had an abundan...
متن کاملMixed Carboxylic Acid Production by Megasphaera elsdenii from Glucose and Lignocellulosic Hydrolysate
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) can be readily produced from many anaerobic microbes and subsequently utilized as precursors to renewable biofuels and biochemicals. Megasphaera elsdenii represents a promising host for production of VFAs, butyric acid (BA) and hexanoic acid (HA). However, due to the toxicity of these acids, product removal via an extractive fermentation system is required to achieve...
متن کاملCloning of electron-transferring flavoprotein from Megasphaera elsdenii.
Electron-transferring flavoproteins (ETF) are heterodimeric enzymes that contain FAD and which transfer reducing equivalents between other flavoenzymes. In mitochondria they accept reducing equivalents from reduced forms of fatty acyl CoA dehydrogenases, sarcosine dehydrogenase, and dimethylglycine dehydrogenase and transfer them to a third flavoenzyme that reduces Coenzyme Q. ETF has similar f...
