Butyrate-producing bacteria, including mucin degraders, from the swine intestinal tract.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To identify bacteria with potential for influencing gut health, 980 anaerobes were cultured from the swine intestinal tract and analyzed for butyrate production. Fifteen isolates in the order Clostridiales produced butyrate and had butyryl coenzyme A (CoA):acetate CoA transferase activity. Three of the isolates grew on mucin, suggesting an intimate association with host intestinal mucosa.

A novel anaerobic, mesophilic, amino-acid-fermenting bacterium, designated strain CL-84(T), was isolated from the swine intestinal tract on mucin-based media. Cells were curved rods (0.8-1.2 × 3.5-5.0 µm), stained Gram-negative and were non-motile with no evidence of spores. Strain CL-84(T) produced acetate, propionate, formate and butyrate as the end products of metabolism when grown on serine...
متن کاملMucin glycan foraging in the human gut microbiome
The availability of host and dietary carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a key role in shaping the structure-function of the microbiota. In particular, some gut bacteria have the ability to forage on glycans provided by the mucus layer covering the GI tract. The O-glycan structures present in mucin are diverse and complex, consisting predominantly of core 1-4 mucin-type O-gly...
متن کاملThe Use of Lactic Acid Bacteria as a Probiotic in Swine Diets
As the resistance of pathogens to antibiotics and the possibility of antibiotic residues in animal products attract increasing attention, the interest in the use of alternatives to in-feed antibiotics has been growing. Recent research with Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in pigs suggests that LAB provide a potential alternative to antibiotic strategies. LAB include Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacte...

The ban on antimicrobial growth promoters and efforts to reduce therapeutic antibiotic usage has led to major problems of gastrointestinal dysbiosis in livestock production in Europe. Control of dysbiosis without the use of antibiotics requires a thorough understanding of the interaction between the microbiota and the host mucosa. The gut microbiota of the healthy chicken is highly diverse, pro...
متن کاملAdhesion Properties of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Intestinal Mucin
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are Gram-positive bacteria that are natural inhabitants of the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts of mammals, including humans. Since Mechnikov first proposed that yogurt could prevent intestinal putrefaction and aging, the beneficial effects of LAB have been widely demonstrated. The region between the duodenum and the terminal of the ileum is the primary region colonized b...
