Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of the Microflora and Anaerobic Fungi in the Rumen of Lambs
TL;DR: The establishment of different bacterial populations and fungi in the rumen was investigated in lambs reared under different conditions of diet and management, finding cellulolytic and methanogenic bacteria appeared very early after birth and Anaerobic fungi appeared later.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative determination of H2-utilizing acetogenic and sulfate-reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea from digestive tract of different mammals.
TL;DR: Archaea methanogens were the largest H2-utilizing populations in all animals, and a correlation was observed between the numbers of methanogen and those of cellulolytic microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Ruminococcus flavefaciens as the predominant cellulolytic bacterial species of the equine cecum.
TL;DR: In this article, Ruminococcus flavefaciensis was found to be the predominant species in the pony and donkey cecum, and four isolates, morphologically resembling R. flave faciens, differed from ruminal strains by their carbohydrate utilization and their end products of cellobiose fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of cellulolytic bacteria and development of fermentative activities in the rumen of gnotobiotically-reared lambs receiving the microbial additive Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077.
TL;DR: Data suggest that this yeast strain may stimulate the development of cellulolytic microflora and enhance microbial activity in the rumen of young ruminants and could be beneficial in preventing microbial imbalance and a reduction of rumen function efficiency in the case of nutritional transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro H2 utilization by a ruminal acetogenic bacterium cultivated alone or in association with an archaea methanogen is stimulated by a probiotic strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
TL;DR: The effects of a live strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on hydrogen utilization and acetate and methane production by two hydrogenotrophic ruminal microorganisms and an acetogenic bacterial strain and an archaea methanogen were investigated.
