Enumeration of transconjugated Ruminococcus albus and its survival in the goat rumen microcosm
Article Abstract:
The mutant strain Ruminococcus albus A3 was introduced into the rumen of a goat and its survival was tested to determine how long antibiotic-resistant cellulose using bacteria can survive in the rumen. The number of bacteria decreased sharply after one day possibly because of the presence of protozoan predators and a low growth rate. In the rumen of the goat, the bacteria survived for 14 days, while in a simulated rumen, the bacteria survived for only 96 hours and the number of surviving cells was less.

Phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids do not affect xylan degradation by Ruminococcus albus
Article Abstract:
The addition of either ruminal fluid or a combination of phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids (PAA/PPA) is shown to dramatically improve cellulose degradation and growth of Ruminococcus albus. The results show that the xylanolytic potential of Ruminococcus albus is not conditional on the availability of PAA/PPA or other components of ruminal fluid.

Genomic differences between Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 and Fibrobacter intestinalis DR7, identified by suppression subtractive hybridization
Article Abstract:
Suppression hybridization is used for identifying the genes present in Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 but absent from Fibrobacter intestinalis DR7. Two gene clusters encoding NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunits shared by Fibrobacter genera have played a vital role in energy metabolism.
