Desulfovibrio of the sheep rumen.

چکیده
A sulfate-reducing bacterium has been isolated in pure culture from sheep rumen contents. Its properties agree in all respects tested with those ascribed to Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. The populations observed (about 10(8)/ml) are sufficient to account for published rates of ruminal sulfide production.

Sulfate reduction by a Desulfovibrio species isolated from sheep rumen.
Several dissimilatory, sulfate-reducing bacteria were isolated from the rumen fluid of sheep fed purified diets containing sulfate. One isolate, strain D, was selected for characterization. This organism is a nonsporeforming, obligately anaerobic, mesophilic, nonmotile, gram-negative, straight rod. Cell-free extracts show absorption maxima for cytochrome c(3) and desulfoviridin, characteristic ...
متن کاملAmmonia production by ruminal microorganisms and enumeration, isolation, and characterization of bacteria capable of growth on peptides and amino acids from the sheep rumen.
Excessive NH(3) production in the rumen is a major nutritional inefficiency in ruminant animals. Experiments were undertaken to compare the rates of NH(3) production from different substrates in ruminal fluid in vitro and to assess the role of asaccharolytic bacteria in NH(3) production. Ruminal fluid was taken from four rumen-fistulated sheep receiving a mixed hay-concentrate diet. The calcula...
متن کاملDynamic Changes of Main Rumen Microflora and Ruminal Fermentation in Sheep Supplemented with Molasses-Urea
The digestion and utilization of roughage by sheep depends on rumen digestion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbe quantity and fermentative efficiency of rumen supplement with molasses-urea. This experiment was conducted in 2014, eight sheep were selected and divided into two groups (a control group and a treatment group), and only the treatment group animals were supplied with m...
متن کاملSulfide Production from Cysteine by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
Two rumen nitrate-reducing isolates of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans were found to hydrolyze cysteine with the production of sulfide and pyruvate. When cultured on agar medium containing yeast extract with nitrate as the primary electron acceptor and ferrous chloride as the indicator, blackening of colonies occurred. The blackening of colonies appeared sooner and was more intense when either cyst...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Strain G11, a Model Sulfate-Reducing, Hydrogenotrophic, and Syntrophic Partner Organism
Here, we report the draft genome of the Gram-negative, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain G11. Isolated from a rumen fluid enrichment, this culture has been a model syntrophic partner due to its metabolic flexibility. The assembly yielded a single circular chromosome of 3,414,943 bp and a 57% G+C content.
