Anaerobic flora, Selenomonas ruminis sp. nov., and the bacteriocinogenic Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain MP3 from crossbred-lactating goats.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to examine the distribution of anaerobic bacteria in the rumen fluid of Thai crossbred goats and to screen potential probiotic strains capable of producing antimicrobial compounds and inhibiting bacteria that cause milk fat depression. Thirty-four strains of bacteria from the rumen fluid were divided into 13 groups within 12 genera based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The RF1-5 and RF5-12 were identified as Streptococcus luteliensis and Bacillus licheniformis, respectively, and demonstrated non-ropy exopolysaccharide. Furthermore, mPRGC5^T was closely related to Selenomonas caprae JCM 33725 ^T (97.8% similarity) based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. It exhibited low average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization, and average amino acid identity val
