Release of Hypoglycin A from Hypoglycin B and Decrease of Hypoglycin A and Methylene Cyclopropyl Glycine Concentrations in Ruminal Fluid Batch Cultures.

ABSTRACT: The transformation of hypoglycin A (HGA), hypoglycin B (HGB), and methylene cyclopropyl glycine (MCPrG) in ruminal fluid batch cultures was investigated, and the effect of these toxins on the batch culture microorganisms using microbial metabolites was measured. An experiment was conducted using ovine ruminal fluid batch cultures and the ANKOM RF Gas Production System over four runs, each with an incubation period of 48 h. The fermenters contained 200 mg of (i) a substrate mixture (80% cellulose, 20% starch; CSM), (ii) CSM and 1.5 mL of a solution of pure toxins (a mixture of 500 ng/mL HGA and MCPrG each; PCM), or (iii) CSM and 100 mg sycamore maple seeds (SMS). Each fermenter contained 30 mL of inoculum (ruminal fluid and buffer, 1:2 v/v). For control, autoclaved ruminal flu
