Africa.Rumen bacteria were able to adapt to concentrations of Na*)300 mM. This is higher than that normally found in the rumen (<200 mM Na*). In chemostat culture both Selenomonas ruminantium and Ruminococcus albus adapted to the effects of Na* and monensin. Substrate yields slowly decreased before reaching steady state values.
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.
