Identifying and exploring biohydrogenating rumen bacteria with emphasis on pathways including trans-10 intermediates Ghent University
Background Bacteria involved in ruminal formation oftrans-10 intermediates are unclear. Therefore, this study aimed at identifying rumen bacteria that producetrans-10 intermediates from 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acids. Results Pure cultures of 28 rumen bacterial species were incubated individually in the presence of 40 mu g/mL 18:3n-3, 18:2n-6 ortrans-11 18:1 under control or lactate-enriched (200 mM Na lactate) conditions for 24 h. Of the 28 ...
