“…A similar relationship was found in the case of two other strains of ruminal treponemes from our collection (Kasperowicz, 2005). In contrast to the mentioned strains of treponemes, the carbohydrates added to the culture medium visibly induced the synthesis of relevant fructanolytic enzymes by Butyrivibrio fi brisolvens, suggesting their inducible character (Cendrowska et al, 2006). Thus, the nature of synthesis of the fructanolytic enzymes seems be species specifi c in the case of the mentioned bacteria.…”

In this experiment, strain T of ruminal treponemes was studied regarding the ability to utilize β-2,6-and β-2,1-fructose polymers as well as sucrose and fructose. Bacteria were able to grow on laboratory-prepared timothy grass fructan and commercial inulin, but not on sucrose or fructose. The optical density of cultures growing on inulin and timothy grass fructan was 0.5 and 1.1 absorbance units, respectively. Bacteria utilized up to 80% of the timothy grass fructan and only 30% of inulin during a 24 h incubation period. It was found that bacteria utilized only the β-2,1-inulooligosaccharides present in the commercial inulin while the long-chain polysaccharides remained undigested. Enzymatic studies showed that the bacterial cell-free extract degraded the timothy grass fructan, inulin and sucrose, releasing 13.4-19.1, 11.1-14.9 and 42.4-52.9 μM fructose/mg protein/h, respectively. It is suggested that enzymes involved in the degradation of fructose polymers could form a complex of which the enzyme specifi cally digesting the timothy grass fructan is associated with the outer membrane and acts on cell surfaces, while unspecifi c β-fructofuranosidase occupies an intracellular space and digests only the carbohydrates inside the bacterial cells. It is also suggested that such a localization of enzymes could be responsible for the inability of bacteria to utilize long-chain inulin. It is supposed that the examined bacteria are lacking in mechanism(s) transporting sucrose and fructose from the growth medium to the intracellular space of these microorganisms.

“…We found that Butyrivibrio , Blautia , Oscillospira , and Odoribacter , genera known to contain a series of butyrate-producing bacteria, are all enriched in participants within Q1 of GLA and participants without type 2 diabetes. These bacteria have been reported to have the ability to use fructose or glucuronate and were inversely associated with obesity ( 26 – 30 ). Moreover, in our study, Blautia , Oscillospira , and Odoribacter were inversely associated with circulating triglycerides, which were found to be positively associated with type 2 diabetes and higher level of GLA ( 31 , 32 ).…”

To examine the association of erythrocyte n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biomarkers with incident type 2 diabetes and explore the potential role of gut microbiota in the association. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated 2,731 participants without type 2 diabetes recruited between 2008 and 2013 in the Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study (Guangzhou, China). Case subjects with type 2 diabetes were identified with clinical and biochemical information collected at follow-up visits. Using stool samples collected during the follow-up in the subset (n 5 1,591), 16S rRNA profiling was conducted. Using multivariable-adjusted Poisson or linear regression, we examined associations of erythrocyte n-6 PUFA biomarkers with incident type 2 diabetes and diversity and composition of gut microbiota. RESULTS Over 6.2 years of follow-up, 276 case subjects with type 2 diabetes were identified (risk 0.10). Higher levels of erythrocyte g-linolenic acid (GLA), but not linoleic or arachidonic acid, were associated with higher type 2 diabetes incidence. Comparing the top to the bottom quartile groups of GLA levels, relative risk was 1.72 (95% CI 1.21, 2.44) adjusted for potential confounders. Baseline GLA was inversely associated with gut microbial richness and diversity (a-diversity, both P < 0.05) during follow-up and significantly associated with microbiota b-diversity (P 5 0.002). a-Diversity acted as a potential mediator in the association between GLA and type 2 diabetes (P < 0.05). Seven genera (Butyrivibrio, Blautia, Oscillospira, Odoribacter, S24-7 other, Rikenellaceae other, and Clostridiales other) were enriched in quartile 1 of GLA and in participants without type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Relative concentrations of erythrocyte GLA were positively associated with incident type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population and also with gut microbial profiles. These results highlight that gut microbiota may play an important role linking n-6 PUFA metabolism and type 2 diabetes etiology.

“…According to the FAO/WHO (2002), prebiotics are non-digestible substances that provide a beneficial physiological effect on the host by selectively stimulating the favorable growth or activity of a number of indigenous bacteria. In ruminants there are evidence that prebiotics increase the population of ciliated protozoa in the rumen (Cendrowska et al, 2006), decrease ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration (Shibata, 1985;Biggs and Hancock, 1998), increase volatile fatty acid (VFA) and microbial protein concentrations, and stabilize the rumen pH (Li et al ., 2007). It is possible that, due to the fact that some prebiotics might not be degraded in the rumen, these functional carbohydrates could reach the large intestine intact where they could have beneficial effects.…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of dietary supplementation of probiotic (Diamond XP™) T1 or prebiotic (BioBoost TM) T2 on nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation characteristics, productive performance and economic efficiency of Barki lambs. Lambs in control group offered a concentrate feed mixture (CFM) and clover hay without supplementation while, lambs in treatment (T1) and treatment (T2) were fed CFM supplemented with probiotic or prebiotic at rate of 10 g/ head/ day, respectively. Nine barki male sheep (47kg ± 2.5) were used for running metabolism trail. The animals were allocated into three equal groups. Three ruminally cannulated ewes (45 kg ± 3.2) were used to study the rumen liquor parameter, while growth performance trails were carried out with twenty four growing male Barki lambs (27.5 kg ± 0.75) used to determine the growth performance, feed conversion and economic efficiency.The obtained results could be summarized as follow: Animals given ration supplemented with probiotic recorded the highest values of (p<0.05) digestibility and nitrogen utilization followed by animals given ration supplemented with prebiotic, however those fed control ration had the lowest values. The same trend was observed with TDN and DCP values.No significant (p<0.05) differences among rations in ruminal pH values, were recorded while total volatile fatty acids (VFA's) concentration and microbial protein synthesis had significantly (p<0.05) increased with probiotic supplement. The control ration recorded the highest ruminal NH3-N concentration. A positive impact of probiotics (DFM) and prebiotic supplementation on nutrient intake, feed conversion ratio and economic efficiency have been recorded. It could be concluded that feeding lambs on rations supplemented with either probiotic (DFM) or prebiotic at 10 g/h/d has beneficial effects on rumen parameters, digestibility coefficients, growth performance and economic efficiency of growing Barki lambs.
