Abstract

Since Megasphaera elsdenii ferments a variable part of dl -lactate to butyrate, measurement of the percentage of dl -lactate fermented to propionate via the acrylate pathway in rumen contents will underestimate the participation of M. elsdenii in the dl -lactate fermentation. The percentage of dl -[2- 13 C]lactate fermented via the acrylate pathway and the percentage of dl -lactate fermented to butyrate can be measured with 13 C-FT (Fourier transform)-nuclear magnetic resonance. On the average, the contribution of M. elsdenii to dl -lactate fermentation in the rumen of dairy cattle was found to be 74% (standard deviation, 13%), but differed with animal or diet. After feeding a cow readily fermentable carbohydrates, the contribution of M. elsdenii to the fermentation of dl -lactate increased as a consequence of catabolite repression in other dl -lactate-fermenting bacteria.

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.
