Isolation and identification of termite gut symbiotic bacteria with lignocellulose-degrading potential, and their effects on the nutritive value for ruminants of some by-products

Abstract: The termite gut contains different kinds of lignin and lignocellulose degrading microbes. This study was conducted to isolate and identify termite gut symbiotic bacteria with lignocellulose-degrading potential, and evaluate their effects on the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of wheat straw and date leaves. Termite gut contents were extracted and cultured in 9 different culture media containing lignin and lignocellulosic materials that had been prepared from water-extracted sawdust and wheat st… Show more

“…Many species of fungi which are effective lignin degraders have been used to assess their ability to improve the nutritive value of fodder for ruminant nutrition (Yamakawa et al 1992;Howard et al 2003). Consistent with our results, Azizi-Shotorkhoft et al (2016) reported that processing WS using bacterial isolates from the termite gut over 6 weeks resulted in a higher disappeared DM compared to treatment without bacterial inoculation. Borji (2003) observed an increase in disappeared DM when processing WS by three bacterial isolates from the termite gut as well as its compatibility with our results.…”

“…Similar to the study by Azizi鈥怱hotorkhoft et al . (), the CP content of WS increased when treated with Ochrobactrum intermedium, in our study, the CP content of WS increased when treated with bacterial isolates. Kerr and Kerr () reported a significant increase in CP content of peanut hulls treated with Arthrobacter for 10 days.…”

“…Information on the use of these processed by-products in ruminants is scarce, with few data available on the effects of processing on nutritive value, rumen fermentation, and overall animal. In our previous work, incubation of lignocellulosic biomass from wheat straw (LBWS) and date (Phoenix dactylifera) leaf (LBDL) for 6 weeks with lignocellulose-degrading bacteria isolated from termite gut partially changed their chemical composition, while increased nutrients digestibility (Azizi-Shotorkhoft et al, 2016). We hypothesized that decreasing the processing period from 6 to 3 weeks may have a similar outcome on nutrients digestibility, thus resulting in a more feasible process of ruminant nutrition.…”
