Gereç veAnahtar kelimeler: Ruminant, rumen bakterisi, metagenomik DNA, PZR Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to isolate metagenomic DNA from fresh and dry sheep feces and to detect several rumen bacteria using the specific primers. Materials and Methods:The metagenomic DNA isolation was performed by using commercial I-Genomic Stool DNA Isolation Kit. Anaerovibrio lipolytica, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Prevotella bryantii, Prevotella ruminicola, Ruminobacter amylophilus, Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Streptococcus bovis, Selenomonas ruminantium and Succinovibrio dextrinosolvens were screened using metagenomic DNA with polymerase chain reaction and spesific primers. Reaction of 16S rRNA region with SphI was carried out to confirm the absence of R. amylophilus, R. albus and S. dextrinosolvens.Results: Fecal samples dried rapidly and lost its 53.72% of fresh mass. After the DNA isolations from fresh and dried samples, DNA concentrations and purity were varied between 25.60-59.50 ng/µL and 1.72-1.90, respectively. It was observed that fecal inhibitors had no effect on PCR. A. lipolytica, F. succinogenes, P. bryantii, P. ruminicola, R. flavefaciens, S. bovis and S. ruminantium were detected with specific primers however PCR did not reveal the presence of R. amylophilus, R. albus and S. dextrinosolvens. SphI digestion of 16S rDNA regions has confirmed this result. Conclusion:In this study, effect of drying in natural conditions on metagenomic DNA isolation from fecal samples was determined. Furthermore, PCR detection of several rumen bacteria was performed by using isolated DNA. In conclusion, it may be stated that the metagenomic DNA isolated from dried fecal samples could be an effective tool for the detection of bacterial populations.
Streptococcus lutetiensis RB4 was isolated from the rumen of beef cattle. An amylase gene from the isolate RB4 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5α by using pGEMT-Easy vector system. S. lutetiensis is a member of S. bovis / S. equinus complex. Sequence characterization of the cloned gene AmySL displayed a 1640 bp long with an open reading frame coding 298 amino acids. AmySL has a molecular mass of 33.456 Da which was considerably smaller. The optimal pH and temparature for AmySL werepH 6.5 and 40oC, respectively. AmySL hydrolyzed starch to maltose and other oligosaccarides as the final products. Random coils (37.25%) and α-helix (34.23%) were dominated the secondary structure of AmySL. S. lutetiensis RB4 grouped together with S. macedanicus and S. pasterurianus according to phylogenetics analysis. This research identified some features of the amylase gene isolated from S. lutetiensis. Although S. bovis, which has an important place in amylolytic bacteria, is known to be an important factor in ruminal acidosis, the number of studies on the amylases of the SBSEC group is surprisingly low. Therefore, this study will add to our understanding of the enzymes belonging to the SBSEC complex involved in the breakdown of rumen starch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
