Characterization of lateral flagella of Selenomonas ruminantium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selenomonas ruminantium produces a tuft of flagella near the midpoint of the cell body and swims by rotating the cell body along the cell's long axis. The flagellum is composed of a single kind of flagellin, which is heavily glycosylated. The hook length of S. ruminantium is almost double that of Salmonella.

Utilization of nucleic acids by Selenomonas ruminantium and other ruminal bacteria.
Species of ruminal bacteria were screened for the ability to grow in media containing RNA or DNA as the energy source. Bacteroides ruminicola D31d and Selenomonas ruminantium HD4, GA192, and D effectively used RNA for growth, but not DNA. B. ruminicola D31d was able grow on nucleosides but not on bases or ribose. The S. ruminantium strains were able to grow when provided with either nucleosides...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Selenomonas ruminantium strains capable of 2-deoxyribose utilization.
Microbes from ruminal contents of cattle were selectively enriched by using 2-deoxyribose (2DR) as a substrate for growth. Bacterial isolates growing on 2DR were gram-negative, curved, motile rods. The isolates grew on a broad range of substrates, including deoxyribose, glucose, ribose, mannitol, and lactate as well as ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides. The strains also grew on rhamnose ...
متن کاملInfluence of CH4 production by Methanobacterium ruminantium on the fermentation of glucose and lactate by Selenomonas ruminantium.
A method is described for increasing the production of H2 from glucose or lactate by Selenomonas ruminantium by sequential transfers in media containing pregrown Methanobacterium ruminantium. The methanogen uses the H2 formed by the selenomonad to reduce CO2 to CH4. Analysis of fermentation products from glucose showed that lactate was the major product formed from glucose by S. ruminantium alo...
متن کاملOccurrence of agmatine pathway for putrescine synthesis in Selenomonas ruminatium.
Selenomonas ruminantium synthesizes cadaverine and putrescine from L-lysine and L-ornithine as the essential constituents of its peptidoglycan by a constitutive lysine/ornithine decarboxylase (LDC/ODC). S. ruminantium grew normally in the presence of the specific inhibitor for LDC/ODC, DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine, when arginine was supplied in the medium. In this study, we discovered the p...
متن کاملDegradation and utilization of xylan by the ruminal bacteria Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens and Selenomonas ruminantium.
The cross-feeding of xyland hydrolysis products between the xylanolytic bacterium Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens H17c and the xylooligosaccharide-fermenting bacterium Selenomonas ruminantium GA192 was investigated. Cultures were grown anaerobically in complex medium containing oat spelt xylan, and the digestion of xylan and the generation and subsequent utilization of xylooligosaccharide intermediat...
