Studies on the rumen flagellate Neocallimastix frontalis.
The vast increase in the population density of the rumen flagellate Neocallimastix frontalis shortly after the host animal has commenced eating is caused by stimulation of a reproductive body on a vegetative phase of the organism to differentiate and liberate the flagellates. The stimulant is a component of the host's diet. The vegetative stage of N. frontalis bears a strong morphological resem...
متن کاملCloning, sequencing, and expression of an endoglucanase gene from the rumen anaerobic fungus Neocallimastix frontalis MCH3.
A cDNA clone encoding an endo-1,4-beta-glucanase from a rumen fungus, Neocallimastix frontalis MCH3, was isolated. The nucleotide sequence showed that the gene, celA, encoded a multidomain enzyme containing a family 5 catalytic domain and a reiterated sequence that is involved in the association of a multienzyme complex, the cellulosome. The enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli showed the highe...
متن کاملDistribution of radioactivity of 14C-amino acids added to the medium in cells and metabolites in cultures of rumen fungi.
A mixture of L-(U-14C) amino acids was added to cultures of 11 strains of rumen anaerobic fungi belonging to Neocallimastix frontalis, Neocallimastix joyonii, Sphaeromonas communis and Piromonas communis. Fungi were grown in a complex medium with glucose for 4 days. The radioactivity was found in cellular protein (27.7-65.3% of the total radioactivity recovered), lactate (16.9-41.8%), volatile ...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of two 1,4-beta-xylan endohydrolases from the rumen fungus Neocallimastix frontalis.
Two beta-endoxylanases produced by Neocallimastix frontalis have been purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. Xylanase I is a nonglycosylated protein with an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa. Xylanase II is a glycoprotein with an apparent molecular mass of 70 kDa. The pH optima of these enzymes were 5.5 and 6, respectively, and the temperatu...
متن کاملAttachment of the ciliate Epidinium Crawley to plant fragments in the sheep rumen.
High concentrations of the ciliate Epidinium Crawley are associated with damaged regions of fresh plant material undergoing digestion in the sheep rumen. This finding supports that postulate that sequestration in the rumen explains the low rate of passage of protozoa despite the high flow rate of liquid from the rumen. The maintenance of Epidinium in the rumen, despite their slow growth rate, i...
