Contribution of protozoa to lysine synthesis in the in vitro rumen microbial ecosystem. |

| Authors: | R Onodera |
| Abstract: | Isotopic tracer experiments were conducted in vitro to determine contribution of protozoa toward the biosynthesis of lysine in the rumen microbial ecosystem. The presence of protozoa in a rumen microbial suspension always increased lysine synthesis from aspartate. Rumen contents from a faunated goat produced a higher amount of lysine than did those from a defaunated one. |
