苜蓿青贮乳酸菌的筛选及其对苜蓿青贮发酵的影响

为获得苜蓿青贮用乳酸菌,本研究从苜蓿附生乳酸菌中通过抑菌活性、酸化苜蓿粉及结构性糖代谢中间产物的性能指标筛选优良菌株,并研究其对苜蓿(Medicago sativa)青贮发酵的影响。结果表明,1)筛选到抑菌活性较高、酸化苜蓿粉及结构性糖代谢中间产物综合性能较好的菌株ZZU A341,被鉴定为植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus plantarum);2)青贮90 d,添加该菌株的处理组pH、氨态氮含量低于添加商业菌株(YX)的处理组,显著低于自然青贮(P<0.05)。综上所述,使用该筛选方法获得的优良乳酸菌可有效改善苜蓿发酵品质。     

甘露寡糖添加方式对哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌菌群结构的影响

为利用16S rDNA技术研究甘露寡糖不同添加方式对哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌菌群结构影响,本研究选用出生日龄一致、体重接近、健康状况良好的荷斯坦公犊牛20头,随机分为4组。CR组为对照组,饮用乳及开食料中均不添加甘露寡糖;ORa组在饮用乳中添加5 g甘露寡糖,开食料中不添加甘露寡糖;ORb组在开食料中添加5 g甘露寡糖,饮用乳中不添加甘露寡糖;ORc组在饮用乳及开食料中各添加2.5 g甘露寡糖(混合添加)。应用16S rDNA测序技术,研究了甘露寡糖添加方式对犊牛瘤胃细菌构建的影响。结果表明:甘露寡糖添加方式会影响哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌总数,但对哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌菌群多样性未产生显著影响(P>0.05)。在门水平上,与对照组相比,ORb组颗粒料中添加甘露寡糖显著降低了厚壁菌门与放线菌门的丰度(P<0.05),极显著提高了变形菌门的丰度(P<0.01),优势菌门增加为3种,分别为拟杆菌门、厚壁菌门与变形菌门。在属水平上,甘露寡糖不同添加方式导致哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌菌群结发生了改变,其中甘露寡糖不同添加方式对小杆菌属和脱硫弧菌属在瘤胃内丰度均产生了影响,但对ORa组与ORc组犊牛瘤胃细菌影响不及ORb组;且ORb组犊牛瘤胃细菌功能性菌属普雷沃氏-7属、氨基酸球菌属、优杆菌属和琥珀酸弧菌等均发生显著变化。基于以上结果,得出如下结论:本研究条件下,甘露寡糖添加方式对哺乳期犊牛瘤胃细菌菌群多样性未产生显著影响(P>0.05),但开食料中寡糖添加方式对菌群结构产生部分影响,其中发挥瘤胃蛋白降解作用和淀粉降解作用的琥珀酸弧菌科-UCG-001属、利用乳酸的新月形单胞菌属丰度极显著提高(P<0.01),而利用乳糖的优杆菌属丰度显著降低,降解半纤维素的小杆菌属丰度极显著降低(P<0.01)。     

微生物菌群培养组学在动物医学中的应用

实验室条件下可培养的微生物约占自然界中微生物总数的1%，这限制了人们对99%未知微生物的认识和利用，而研究表明，那些“不可培养的微生物”是可以被开发和利用的，未能被纯培养的微生物才是未知微生物的主体。微生物培养组学探索利用多种培养条件和长时间的培养，结合基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱法（MALDI-TOF-MS）和16S核糖体RNA（rRNA）测序可以大规模鉴定各种微生物，同时利用全基因组测序和宏基因组测序手段对未知微生物进行深入分析。本文综述了国内外近年来微生物菌群培养组学在反刍动物胃肠道、禽类盲肠及家畜鼻腔微生物菌群研究中的最新进展，探讨将动物体内菌群培养组学方法应用于动物疾病防治领域的可行性。作为一个新兴的研究方法，尽管该培养组学还存在一些不够成熟的方面，但它的发展前景十分广阔，微生物菌群培养组学方法和其他研究方法的互补已经逐渐成为发展兽医微生物学新的突破口。     

Sodium alginate supplementation modulates gut microbiota,health parameters,growth performance and growth‐related gene expression in Malaysian Mahseer Tor tambroides

This study investigated the effects of sodium alginate supplementation on gut microbiota composition, health parameters, growth performances and growth‐related gene expression of Malaysian mahseer. Five test diets were formulated by supplementing 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% sodium alginate. Triplicate groups of juvenile Tor tambroides (2.19 ± 0.05 g) were stocked in 15 aquaria (20 individuals per aquarium) and fed at 3.0% body weight per day for 60 days. PCoA and UPGMA analysis showed that gut bacterial community were more convergence in higher sodium alginate‐supplemented diets. The percentage of Porphyromonadaceae, Bacteroides, Plesiomonas and Shewanella were substantially higher and Aeromonas, Entomoplasmatales and Prevotellaceae were drastically lower in higher sodium alginate (0.2%–0.8%) diets. Sodium alginate supplementation (≥0.2%) significantly improved the haematocrit value and respiratory burst activity of T. tambroides. Growth performances and feed utilization were significantly higher in 0.2%–0.4% sodium alginate‐supplemented diets. The increased growth rate of T. tambroides was governed by both hyperplastic and hypertrophic muscle growth. Real‐time PCR data demonstrated that most of the growth‐related genes were significantly upregulated in 0.2%–0.4% sodium alginate‐supplemented diet. Finally, it can be concluded that sodium alginate should be supplemented at 2 g/kg in practical fish feed formulation.     

Formulated diet alters gut microbiota compositions in marine fish Nibea coibor and Nibea diacanthus

Nibea, an economical marine fish, is generally fed on trash fish (the low‐value fish), which can cause high feed costs and waste pollutions in high‐density aquaculture. To assess the effect of formulated diet on the gut microbiota in Nibea coibor and Nibea diacanthus, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, clone libraries analysis and Illumina sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene were used in this study. Two Nibea fishes were both dominated by Gammaproteobacteria (especially Photobacterium) and shared a set of gut microbiota, including Bacilli, Mollicutes, Alphaproteobacteria and Fusobacteriia. Statistical analyses revealed that formulated diet led to lower feed conversion ratio (p < 0.001), lower abundance of Vibrio (p = 0.040) and infectious diseases pathways (p = 0.001), higher abundance of polysaccharide‐degrading bacterium Cellvibrio (p = 0.006) in two Nibea species, with higher weight gain rate (p = 0.023) and microbial diversity (Shannon, p = 0.049 and Simpson, p = 0.044) and more carbohydrate metabolism (p = 0.020) observed in N. coibor. The distribution and correlation network of 17 potential short‐chain fatty acid producing bacteria were obtained and visualized in all treatment groups. The results reveal that formulated diet has beneficial effects on the gut microbial ecology in two Nibea fishes, which suggests the possibility of replacing trash fish diet with formulated diet in Nibea aquaculture.     

Fibrinonecrotic Placentitis and Abortion Associated With Pantoea agglomerans Infection in a Mare

Pantoea agglomerans, family Enterobacteriaceae, is a Gram-negative bacterium that may be isolated from soil and from plants. This bacterium has been associated with disease in plants, humans, and rarely in domestic animal species. We describe here a case of fibrinonecrotic placentitis and equine abortion associated with P. agglomerans infection in southern Brazil. A fetus with 10 months of gestation and its placenta were evaluated. Gross lesions were observed in the cervical star extending to the body of the chorioallantois and consisted of a focally extensive, transmural, severely thickened yellow area. Histologically, this area in the chorioallantois was effaced by severe necrosis, associated with marked inflammatory infiltrate of neutrophils and abundant deposition of fibrin and cellular debris. Aggregates of bacterial rods were noted intermixed with inflammation areas. No significant lesions were observed in the remaining organs inspected. Tissue samples of the lung, placenta, and stomach contents were cultured, and microbiological tests revealed the growth of P. agglomerans in all evaluated samples. The present study reaffirms the participation of P. agglomerans as a cause of bacterial placentitis and abortion in horses.
