Substrate Preferences in Rumen Bacteria: Evidence of Catabolite Regulatory Mechanisms

Open access
Russell, James B., Baldwin, R. L.·1978·Applied and Environmental Microbiology

Abstract

Five species of rumen bacteria with overlapping substrate fermentative capabilities were tested for substrate preferences and evidence of catabolite regulatory mechanisms. All five bacteria showed evidence of some type of catabolite regulatory mechanism. In the six-substrate test system that was used, utilization of every substrate was inhibited by another substrate in at least one of the bacteria. Inhibited versus noninhibited substrate data suggest that the five bacteria have different strategies of substrate utilization and thus occupy separate niches in the rumen. The significance of these observations to understanding the rumen ecosystem is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
