Project description:The rumen harbors a complex mixture of archaea, bacteria, protozoa and fungi that efficiently breakdown plant biomass and its complex dietary carbohydrates into soluble sugars that can be fermented and subsequently converted into metabolites and nutrients utilized by the host animal. While rumen bacteria populations have been well documented, only a fraction of the rumen eukarya are taxonomically and functionally characterized, despite the recognition that they contribute to the cellulolytic phenotype of the rumen fauna. To investigate how anaerobic fungi actively engage in digestion of recalcitrant fiber that is resistant to the initial stages of rumination, we resolved genome-centric metaproteome and metatranscriptome datasets generated from switchgrass samples incubated in nylon bags within the rumen of cannulated dairy cows for 48 hours.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of normal diet feed (NF) and alternative diet feed (AF) on animal performance, gene expression in adipose, liver, and muscle, and changes in bacteria and fungi in the rumen of Bos-Taurus using high-throughput sequencing methods. In addition, Interactions between differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in major metabolic organs and rumen bacteria /fungi were studied. A total of 34,360 genes were found to be expressed across all tissues examined based on transcriptome analysis. According to our findings, 34, 36, 28 genes were differentially expressed in the adipose, liver, and muscle tissues, respectively. A majority of DEGs identified were related to osteoclast differentiation, phagosomes, and immune-functions etc. A study of rumen samples revealed that Firmicutes and Bacterioidetes were the most common phyla. An AF diet significantly increased Firmicutes abundance and reduced Bacterioidetes abundance (p< 0.05). Genus-level analysis revealed that the occurrence of Faecalicatena, Intestinimonas, Lachnoclostridium, Faecalicatena, and Intestinimonas was higher (p < 0.05) in animals fed with the AF diet than in animals fed with an NF diet. As for fungi, Neocallimastigomycota accounted for 98.2% of the NF diet and 86.88% of the AF diet. The AF increased the abundance of Orpinomyces (21.15% to 29.7%), Piromyces (0.1% to 1.8%), and other fungi, but reduced the abundance of Neocallimastix (72.0% to 25.2%). Analysis of the correlation between DEGs and microbes showed that rumen bacteria/fungi significantly influenced expression levels of genes in adipose, liver, and muscle tissues

Project description:A healthy rumen is crucial for normal growth and improved production performance of ruminant animals. Rumen microbes participate in and regulate rumen epithelial function, and the diverse metabolites produced by rumen microbes are important participants in rumen microbe-host interactions. SCFAs, as metabolites of rumen microbes, have been widely studied, and propionate and butyrate have been proven to promote rumen epithelial cell proliferation. Succinate, as an intermediate metabolite in the citric acid cycle, is a final product in the metabolism of certain rumen microbes, and is also an intermediate product in the microbial synthesis pathway of propionate. However, its effect on rumen microbes and rumen epithelial function has not been studied. It is unclear whether succinate can stimulate rumen epithelial development. Therefore, in this experiment, Chinese Tan sheep were used as experimental animals to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the rumen microbiota community structure and rumen epithelial transcriptome, to explore the role of adding succinate to the diet in the interaction between the rumen microbiota and host.

Project description:The time-resolved impact of monensin on the active rumen microbiome in a rumen-simulating technique (Rusitec) was studied with metaproteomic and metabolomic approaches. Upon monensin treatment, decreased catabolism linked to fiber degradation was observed by the reduced abundance of proteins assigned to fibrolytic bacteria and glycoside hydrolases, sugar transporters and carbohydrate metabolism. Reduced amounts of ammonium as well as branched-chain fatty acids pointed towards a decreased proteolytic activity. The family Prevotellaceae exhibited increased resilience in the presence of monensin, with a switch of metabolism from acetate to succinate production. Prevotella species harbor a membrane bound electron transfer complex, which drives the reduction of fumarate to succinate, the substrate for propionate production in the rumen habitat. Besides the increased succinate production, a concomitant depletion of methane concentration was observed upon monensin exposure. Our study demonstrates that Prevotella sp. shifts its metabolism successfully in response to monensin exposure and Prevotellaceae represents the key bacterial family stabilizing the rumen microbiota during exposure to monensin.
