چکیده
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of laidlomycin propionate and monensin on cell growth, glucose fermentation, and glucose uptake in Streptococcus bovis strain JB1 and Selenomonas ruminantium strain HD4. Experiments were also conducted to compare the effects of both ionophores on sodium-dependent serine transport and cell yield in S. bovis. Batch cultures (500 mL) of each bacterium were grown on 3.6 g/L D-glucose in semidefined medium and treated with either 5 ppm monensin or 2 ppm laidlomycin propionate (n=2). Cell growth was monitored by measuring optical density at 600 nm (OD600). Glucose and L-lactate concentrations were measured using coupled enzyme assays. In S. bovis, both monensin and laidlomycin propionate decreased OD600, glucose utilization, and L-lactate production. Neither ionophore had any effect on glucose utilization by S. ruminantium. [14C]Glucose uptake between 5 and 30 min by both bacteria was not altered by either ionophore. Sodium-dependent [14C]serine uptake by S. bovis was inhibited by monensin but not laidlomycin propionate. When S. bovis was grown in glucose-limited continuous culture (dilution rate=.10 h(-1)) at extracellular pH 6.7, increasing concentrations of both ionophores decreased bacterial yield, and both ionophores were more potent at an extracellular pH of 5.7. However, monensin was a more potent inhibitor than laidlomycin propionate at pH 6.7 and 5.7. Collectively, these results suggest that the ionophore laidlomycin propionate inhibits the Gram-positive bacterium S. bovis in a manner similar to that of monensin, but, at the concentrations used in this study, laidlomycin propionate seems to be less potent than monensin in inhibiting serine uptake and cell yield.

Nutrient transport by ruminal bacteria: a review.
Fermentation pathways have been elucidated for predominant ruminal bacteria, but information is limited concerning the specific transport mechanisms used by these microorganisms for C, energy, and N sources. In addition, it is possible that changes in ruminal environmental conditions could affect transport activity. Five carrier-mediated soluble nutrient transport mechanisms have been identifie...
متن کاملComparison of maintenance energy expenditures and growth yields among several rumen bacteria grown on continuous culture.
Maintenance energy expenditures were mesured for five rumen bacteria, Selenomonas ruminantium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Bacteroides ruminicola, Megasphaera elsdenii, and Streptococcus bovis, by using a complex medium with glucose as the carbon source. Large differences (as high as 8.5-fold) in maintenance energy expenditures were seen among these bacteria. The suggestion is made that maintena...
متن کاملInfluence of CH4 production by Methanobacterium ruminantium on the fermentation of glucose and lactate by Selenomonas ruminantium.
A method is described for increasing the production of H2 from glucose or lactate by Selenomonas ruminantium by sequential transfers in media containing pregrown Methanobacterium ruminantium. The methanogen uses the H2 formed by the selenomonad to reduce CO2 to CH4. Analysis of fermentation products from glucose showed that lactate was the major product formed from glucose by S. ruminantium alo...
متن کاملFactors affecting lactate and malate utilization by Selenomonas ruminantium.
Lactate utilization by Selenomonas ruminantium is stimulated in the presence of malate. Because little information is available describing lactate-plus-malate utilization by this organism, the objective of this study was to evaluate factors affecting utilization of these two organic acids by two strains of S. ruminantium. When S. ruminantium HD4 and H18 were grown in batch culture on DL-lactate...
