Project description:Emerging data has highlighted the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate, in regulating ruminal homeostasis in vivo isolated epithelial cells. However, little is known about other SCFAs like acetate or propionate, and the interaction between rumen microbes and epithelial immunity are rarely reported. Here, we firstly combined infusion of three SCFAs, to study their different roles in ruminal development, antioxidant capacity, barrier functions, and immunity, as well as cross-talk with ruminal microbiome (16S rRNA sequencing data of rumen digesta) and derived transcriptome (RNA-Seq) and metabolism using an in vivo goat model.

Project description:In order to investigate the diurnal oscillations of ruminal bacteria, and their responses to the changes in different feeding patterns, we conducted an animal experiment by feeding the sheep ad libitum with a hay-based diet (50% of alfalfa hay and 46% of oats hay) and a grain-based diet (45% of corn meal and 11% of soybean meal) for 30 days, and ruminal fluid samples were collected at six different timepoints from T2 to T22 in one day, and the composition and diversity of the bacterial communities in rumen microbiomes of the sheep in the Grain-diet and Hay-diet groups at different timepoints were analyzed through 16S rRNA sequencing.

Project description:The transcriptome of Escherichia coli K-12 has been widely studied over a variety of conditions for the past decade while such studies involving E. coli O157:H7, its pathogenic cousin, are just now being conducted. To better understand the impact of rumen fluid on E. coli O157:H7, global transcript levels of strain EDL933 cells resuspended in heat clarified rumen fluid for 15 min were compared to cells resuspended in fresh LB using microarrays. Seven independent RNA samples from rumen fluid treated cultures were paired with seven independent RNA samples from control cultures for hybridization to seven two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Cy3 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Cy5 dye, the dyes were reversed for the other four arrays to overcome dye bias.
