TLDR
The present article aimed to cover comprehensively the different aspects of rumen methanogenesis such as the phylogeny of methanogens, their microbial ecology, factors affecting methane emission, mitigation strategies and need for further study.Abstract:
The rumen is a highly diverse ecosystem comprising different microbial groups including methanogens that consume a considerable part of the ruminant’s nutrient energy in methane production. The consequences of methanogenesis in the rumen may result in the low productivity and possibly will have a negative impact on the sustainability of the ruminant’s production. Since enteric fermentation emission is one of the major sources of methane and is influenced by a number of environmental factors, diet being the most significant one, a number of in vitro and in vivo trials have been conducted with different feed supplements (halogenated methane analogues, bacteriocins, propionate enhancers, acetogens, fats etc.) for mitigating methane emissions directly or indirectly, yet extensive research is required before reaching a realistic solution. Keeping this in view, the present article aimed to cover comprehensively the different aspects of rumen methanogenesis such as the phylogeny of methanogens, their microbial ecology, factors affecting methane emission, mitigation strategies and need for further study.read more

Methanogens: methane producers of the rumen and mitigation strategies.
TL;DR: The methanogens identified in the rumens of cattle and sheep, as well as a number of methane mitigation strategies that have been effective in vivo are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical evaluation of essential oils as rumen modifiers in ruminant nutrition: A review
TL;DR: Essential oils appeared to be very promising compounds as they selectively reduced methane production and protein breakdown in both in vitro and in vivo studies, but in some studies, the use of EO as feed additives was accompanied with decreased feed degradability and lowered volatile fatty acid.
BookDOI
Rumen microbiology : from evolution to revolution
TL;DR: This work focuses on the exploration and exploitation of rumen microbes, an underutilized niche for industrially important enzymes in a non-ruminant gut, and the implications for ruminant health and welfare.

TL;DR: The construction of a methanogenic gene catalogue through these approaches will lead to understand the microbiome function, its relation with the host and feeds, and therefore, will form the basis of practically viable and eco-friendly methane mitigation approaches, while improving the ruminant productivity.

Associative patterns among anaerobic fungi, methanogenic archaea, and bacterial communities in response to changes in diet and age in the rumen of dairy cows.
TL;DR: Co-occurrence analysis incorporating taxa from bacteria, ARF and archaea revealed syntrophic interactions both within and between microbial domains in response to change in diet as well as age of dairy cows, supporting the hypothesis that the rumen microbiome also matures with age to sustain the growing metabolic needs of the host.

Characteristics of methanogens isolated from bovine rumen.
TL;DR: Six strains of methanogens were isolated from 10(-8) and 10(-9) ml of bovine rumen contents and none of the strains reacted with antiserum against the type strain of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Ruminal Bacteria Armed with Bacteriocins
TL;DR: Bacteriocins may provide an alternative group of antibiotics for the manipulation of ruminal microbial populations and have significant advantages over other antibiotics in target specificity, susceptibility to proteolytic digestion, possibility of genetic transfer and manipulation, and, in the case of some bacteria derived from lactic acid bacteria, a long history of safe use.

The effect of bovicin HC5, a bacteriocin from Streptococcus bovis HC5, on ruminal methane production in vitro.
TL;DR: Semi-purified bacteriocin from Streptococcus bovis HC5 (bovicin HC5) inhibited methane production, by as much as 50%, and even a low concentration of bovicinHC5 (128 activity units (AU) ml(-1)) caused a significant decrease.

In vitro inhibition of microbial methane production by 9,10-anthraquinone.
TL;DR: The data are interpreted to indicate that 9,10-anthraquinone has the ability to alter in vitro microbial fermentation.

The energy conserving N5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin:coenzyme M methyltransferase complex from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum is composed of eight different subunits.
TL;DR: It is reported that N5-Methyltetrahydromethanopterin:coenzyme M methyltransferase (Mtr) from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum strain Marburg is a membrane-associated enzyme complex which catalyzes an energy-conserving, sodium-ion-translocating step in methanogenesis from H2 and CO2.
