Abstract

Rumen bacterial species belonging to the genus Butyrivibrio are important degraders of plant polysaccharides, particularly hemicelluloses (arabinoxylans) and pectin. Currently, four species are recognized which have very similar substrate utilization profiles, but little is known about how these microorganisms are able to co-exist in the rumen. To investigate this question, Butyrivibrio hungatei MB2003 and Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus B316T were grown alone or in co-culture on xylan or pectin, and their growth, release of sugars, fermentation end products and transcriptomes were examined. In mono-cultures, B316T was able to grow well on xylan and pectin, while MB2003 was unable to utilize either of these insoluble substrates to support significant growth. Co-cultures of B316T grown with MB2003 revealed that MB2003 showed almost equivalent growth to B316T when either xylan or pectin were supplied as substrates. The effect of co-culture on the transcriptomes of B316T and MB2003 was assessed; B316T transcription was largely unaffected by the presence of MB2003, but MB2003 expressed a wide range of genes encoding carbohydrate degradation, central metabolism, oligosaccharide transport and substrate assimilation in order to compete with B316T for the released sugars. These results suggest that B316T has a role as an initiator of primary solubilization of xylan and pectin, while MB2003 competes effectively for the released soluble sugars to enable its growth and maintenance in the rumen.

107. RMs face extinction of U.K. terrorism cover

Abstract

The virtual extinction of commercial terrorism insurance in the UK caused the government to fill the gap in 1993. The government-formed mutual insurer called Pool Re now offers property coverage at four different rates depending on the property's zoning. Competition within the market is limited because the program does not allow its members, which include most UK property insurance companies, to offer similar policies., During the past year and a half, amid the turmoil at Lloyd's, and with attention diverted by fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, a species of insurance quietly became extinct. Commercial [...]

Abstract

Methane emissions from agriculture represent around 9% of global anthropogenic greenhouse emissions. The single largest source of this methane is animal enteric fermentation, predominantly from ruminant livestock where it is produced mainly in their fermentative forestomach (or reticulo-rumen) by a group of archaea known as methanogens. In order to reduce methane emissions from ruminants, it is necessary to understand the role of methanogenic archaea in the rumen, and to identify their distinguishing characteristics that can be used to develop methane mitigation technologies. To gain insights into the role of methylotrophic methanogens in the rumen environment, the genome of a methanogenic archaeon has been sequenced. This isolate, strain ISO4-H5, was isolated from the ovine rumen and belongs to the order Methanomassiliicoccales. Genomic analysis suggests ISO4-H5 is an obligate hydrogen-dependent methylotrophic methanogen, able to use methanol and methylamines as substrates for methanogenesis. Like other organisms within this order, ISO4-H5 does not possess genes required for the first six steps of hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. Comparison between the genomes of different members of the order Methanomassiliicoccales revealed strong conservation in energy metabolism, particularly in genes of the methylotrophic methanogenesis pathway, as well as in the biosynthesis and use of pyrrolysine. Unlike members of Methanomassiliicoccales from human sources, ISO4-H5 does not contain the genes required for production of coenzyme M, and so likely requires external coenzyme M to survive.

Abstract

The aim was to define the natural history of hearing lossin Usher syndrome type IIa compared to non-IIa. Peoplewith Usher syndrome type II show moderate-to-severehearing loss, normal balance and retinitis pigmentosa.Several genes cause Usher syndrome type II. Our subjectsformed two genetic groups: (1) subjects with Usher syndrometype IIa with a mutation and/or linkage to theUsher IIa gene; (2) subjects with the Usher II phenotypewith no mutation and/or linkage to the Usher IIa gene.Four hundred and two audiograms of 80 Usher IIa subjectswere compared with 435 audiograms of 87 non-IIasubjects. Serial audiograms with intervals of ≥5 yearswere examined for progression in 109 individuals. Thosewith Usher syndrome type IIa had significantly worsehearing thresholds than those with non-IIa Usher syndromeafter the second decade. The hearing loss in Ushersyndrome type IIa was found to be more progressive, andthe progression started earlier than in non-IIa Usher syndrome.This suggests an auditory phenotype for Ushersyndrome type IIa that is different from that of other typesof Usher syndrome II. Thus, this is to our knowledgeone of the first studies showing a genotype-phenotypeauditory correlation.
