Some rumen bacteria degrading fructan

Degradation of fructan obtained from timothy (Phleum pratense L.) by the following six species of bacteria isolated from sheep rumen was studied: Streptococcus bovis, Bacteroides ruminicola, Selenomonas ruminantium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Treponema bryantii and Treponema saccharophilum. The enzy...

Description
Summary:Degradation of fructan obtained from timothy (Phleum pratense L.) by the following six species of bacteria isolated from sheep rumen was studied: Streptococcus bovis, Bacteroides ruminicola, Selenomonas ruminantium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Treponema bryantii and Treponema saccharophilum. The enzymatic activity of the bacteria was analysed by TLC. The highest activity was found in whole cells and in the strains B. fibrisolvens No. 3 and T. saccharophilum S.
