Low-Carbohydrate Tolerant LAB Strains Identified from Rumen Fluid: Investigation of Probiotic Activity and Legume Silage Fermentation.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with low carbohydrate tolerance from rumen fluid and to elucidate their probiotic properties and the quality of fermentation of Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium incarnatum L. silage in vitro. We isolated 39 LAB strains and screened for growth in MRS broth and a low-carbohydrate supplemented medium; among them, two strains, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lactobacillus plantarum) RJ1 and Pediococcus pentosaceus S22, were able to grow faster in the low-carbohydrate medium. Both strains have promising probiotic characteristics including antagonistic activity against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, and E. faecalis; the ability to survive in simulated gastric-intestinal fluid; tolerance to bile salts; and proteolytic activity. Furthermore, an in vitro silage fermentation study revealed that alfalfa and crimson clover silage inoculated with RJ1 and S22 showed significantly decreased pH and an increased LAB population at the end of fermentation. Also, the highest lactic acid production was noted (p < 0.05) in LAB-inoculated silage vs. non-inoculated legume silage at high moisture. Overall, the data suggest that RJ1 and S22 could be effective strains for fermentation of legume silage.

Project description:Rumen microbiota transplantation (RMT) can improve rumen fermentation and ruminant performance. However, due to the microbial distinction in the fluid and solid phases, the current understanding of their specific roles in RMT is insufficient. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effects of the microbiota from the recombination of the rumen fluid and solid phases on in vitro fermentation. The rumen fresh fluid (FF) and fresh solid (FS) phases were collected, and FS was washed for the fresh solid washing solution (FW). The fractions of FF, FS, and FW were autoclaved to obtain autoclaved fluid (AF), solid (AS), and washing solution (AW). Then, these phases were recombined to form eight treatments: FFFS, FFAS, FFFW, FFAW, AFFS, AFAS, AFFW, and AFAW. After 24 h of fermentation, the gas production in AFFS, FFFS, and FFAS was significantly higher than that of other groups. AFAS and AFAW had significantly lower alpha diversity than did other groups. The solid phase was enriched with fiber-degrading bacteria, including Treponema, Succinivibrio, and Ruminococcus. The fluid phase was dominated by Prevotella, Christensenellaceae R-7 group, and Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group. The washing solution had more Ruminobacter, Lachnospiraceae, and Fibrobacter. Moreover, the double-autoclaved phases displayed increased abundances of harmful bacteria, as AFAS and AFAW had higher Streptococcus and Prevotellaceae YAB2003 group abundances. A network analysis showed that the signature microbiota in AFAS and AFAW were negatively associated with the keystone microbiota in the other groups. In summary, the recombination of the solid phase and the autoclaved fluid phase had the best in vitro fermentation result, which provided certain references for RMT. IMPORTANCE This is the first study to systematically evaluate the in vitro fermentation efficiency of diets by bacteria harvested and recombined from the fluid and solid phases of rumen contents, and it took into account the effect of washing the rumen solid phase. Using "reconstituted rumen content", this study confirmed that bacteria from different fractions of the rumen digesta resulted in different fermentation production of diets and found the characteristic bacteria in each phase of rumen contents. Our data reveal that the bacteria in the solid phase have more positive effects on the in vitro fermentation parameters, that the combination of the autoclaved fluid phase and the fresh solid phase have the most ideal fermentation effect, and that the autoclave process significantly influenced the microbial composition and increased the abundance of harmful bacteria. This study provides a landmark reference for the future use of rumen microbiota transplantation to improve animal feed utilization and growth performance.
