چکیده

Colony counts which approximated those in a habitat-simulating, rumen fluid-agar medium (RFM) were obtained in medium 10, a medium identical to the RFM except for the replacement of rumen fluid with 1.5 x 10(-6)m hemin, 0.2% Trypticase, 0.05% yeast extract, and a 6.6 x 10(-2)m volatile fatty acid mixture qualitatively and quantitatively similar to that in rumen fluid. Single deletion of Trypticase, yeast extract, or the volatile fatty acid mixture from medium 10 significantly reduced colony counts. Colony counts were also reduced when medium 10 was modified to contain higher concentrations of Trypticase or volatile fatty acids. Significant differences were found between colony counts obtained from diluted rumen contents of animals fed a cracked corn-urea diet, and the colony counts obtained from animals fed either a cracked corn-soyean oil meal or an alfalfa hay-grain diet. Qualitative differences were found between the predominant bacterial strains isolated from rumen contents of animals fed cracked corn diets and strains isolated from animals fed alfalfa hay-grain. Regardless of differences in the predominant flora associated with diet, medium 10 and the RFM supported growth of similar bacterial populations. The results show that medium 10 is suitable for enumeration and isolation of many predominant rumen bacteria.

Isolation and identification of fecal bacteria from adult swine.

An examination of the fecal microflora of adult swine was made with regard to the efficiency of several roll tube media in enumeration and recovery of anaerobes, the effects of medium constituents on recovery, and the isolation and identification of the predominant kinds of bacteria. Total number of organisms by microscopic bacterial counts varied among fecal samples from 4.48 X 10(10) to 7.40 ...

Enumeration and isolation of lactate-utilizing bacteria from the rumen of sheep.

A highly specific medium was developed for the enumeration of lactate-utilizing bacteria in the rumen of sheep. This medium, which contained 2.0% lactate, 2.0% Trypticase, 0.2% yeast extract, and volatile fatty acids, hemin, and trace elements in place of rumen fluid, enabled high counts (42 x 10 to 190 x 10/g of ingesta) of lactate-utilizing bacteria to be made with a high degree of specificit...

Medium for the enumeration and isolation of bacteria from a Swine waste digester.

A habitat-simulating medium was developed for the enumeration and isolation of bacteria from a swine waste digester. A roll tube medium with growth factors for strict anaerobes from previously studied anaerobic ecosystems was used to evaluate the effects of deletion, addition, or level of digester fluid, digester fluid treated with acid or base, rumen fluid, fecal extract, anaerobic pit extract...

Urease assay and urease-producing species of anaerobes in the bovine rumen and human feces.

A growth medium and test were developed for rapid detection of urease in fermentative anaerobic bacteria. Using nonselective rumen fluid roll-tube agar medium and the new test, it was confirmed that Peptostreptococcus productus is often the most numerous urease-forming species in human feces. Also, some fecal strains of Ruminococcus albus, Clostridium innocuum, and Clostridium beijerinckii prod...

Lyophilization of rumen fluid for use in culture media.

The supernatant from centrifugation at 1,000 x g of strained rumen fluid was lyophilized, and the residue and sublimate fractions were used to replace fresh rumen fluid in a complete roll tube medium for enumeration of total rumen bacteria. Most of the growth-supporting nutrients in fresh rumen fluid were found in the residue fraction. With one exception, no significant differences were found i...
