Background: Ready-To-Eat (RTE) foods include any edible food that is commonly consumed raw. This study aimed at evaluation of microbial ecology of retail RTE escarole and red chicory sold in Palermo city, Italy. Methods: A total of 32 mono-varietal RTE samples, including escarole (n=16) and red chicory (n=16) samples were obtained from Palermo, Italy. Both RTE vegetables at expiry date were an...

That microbial fermentation in the rumen can progress without added amino acids, peptides or proteins was elegantly demonstrated by Virtanen (1966) who maintained lactating dairy cows for prolonged periods on purified diets with urea as the only N source. However, there have also been numerous studies which have demonstrated benefits of feeding pre-formed amino acids, either as free amino acids...

The bacteria Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Ruminococcus albus generally are regarded as the predominant cellulolytic microbes in the rumen. Comparison of available data from the literature reveals that these bacteria are the most actively cellulolytic of all mesophilic organisms described to date from any habitat. In light of numerous proposals to improve microbial ce...

The rumen typically operates as an energy-limited, nitrogen-excess system, but diets can be so low in degradable crude protein that microbial growth is limited by N. Ruminal bacteria respond differently to N sources and N-limitation. Cellulolytic ruminal bacteria need ammonia as an N source, have little capacity to utilize amino-N, are unable to ferment fiber when ammonia is depleted, and do no...
