Isolation and characterization of actinomycetes from healthy goat faeces

Aims: To isolate and characterize actinomycetes with probiotic activities from healthy goat faeces. Methods and Results: Faecal actinomycetes were isolated by dilution methods and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The hydrolytic enzyme activities were analysed by clear zone formation. The antimicrobial activities and resistance to heavy metals were tested by growth inhibition methods. The isolates belong to a small group of actinobacterial genera, including Streptomyces, Nocardiopsis and Oerskovia. The Oerskovia was the most widely distributed genus among the cultures. The proportion of streptomycete‐like strains producing amylase or protease is significantly higher than those of other actinomycetes (P < 0·05). Compared with streptomycete‐like strains, a higher proportion of (α‐ or β‐) galactase‐producing other actinomycetes was found in goat faeces. More than 50% of streptomycete‐like strains showed activities against test fungi. Streptomycetes could tolerate 0·25 mmol l^?1 Cr₂O₇^2?, 2 mmol l^?1 Ni²⁺; however, other actinomycetes are liable to 40 mmol l^?1 Fe³⁺ and 0·25 mmol l^?1 Cr₂O₇^2? and resistant to 5 mmol l^?1 Ni²⁺ and 2 mmol l^?1 Cu²⁺. Conclusions: The different physiological characteristics of the actinomycetes suggested that the cooperation in the actinomycetes might be involved in their association with goat. Significance and Impact of the Study: Probiotic mixtures based on faecal actinomycetes showed potentials in animal production.

Isolation and identification of bacterial strains with insecticidal activities from Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Oliver (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Several pathogenic bacteria strains were isolated from dead larvae of the weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Oliver, collected on palm trees in Taiwan, China. Strains of pure cultures were temporarily named TW‐1, TW‐2, TW‐3, TW‐4, TW‐5, TW‐6, TW‐7, TW‐8, TW‐9, TW‐10, TW‐11, TW‐12, TW‐13 and TW‐14. These strains were identified by synthetically using colony morphological characters, physiological and biochemical tests and molecular biological analysis. Our results showed that these 14 isolated strains belonged to four genera and five species. The expected approximate 1400‐bp bands were obtained through 16S rDNA universal primer amplification. The sequencing results obtained from a commercial sequencing company were initially compared with a corresponding database from NCBI using BLAST, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed using mega 5.1 software. The phylogenetic results indicated that these isolated strains had more than 99% homology with type strains. To further confirm these strains, numerous physiological and biochemical indexes were confirmed. TW‐1, TW‐2, TW‐3, TW‐9, TW‐12, TW‐13 and TW‐14 were identified as Serratia marcescens; TW‐4, TW‐5, TW‐8 and TW‐10 as Staphylococcus sciuri; TW‐6 as Klebsiella pneumonia subsp. pneumonia; TW‐7 as Proteus vulgaris and TW‐11 as Proteus mirabilis. The preliminary single‐dose bioassay on fourth instar larvae showed that S. marcescens had a higher virulence at a density of 1.89 OD₆₀₀ (56.37% mortality) than the other strains. The corrected mortalities of the other strains were all less than 50%. The lowest toxicities were found for P. vulgaris and P. mirabilis where the corrected mortalities were only 28.18% and 25.57%, respectively. LC₅₀ of S. marcescens was 1.2 × 10⁷ CFU/ml inoculums. Our results indicated that S. marcescens from facultative cultivable bacterial flora isolated from R. ferrugineus could potentially be used as a microbial control agent for this widespread pest.

Predicting feed digestibility from NIRS analysis of pig faeces

Digestibility is a key parameter in the evaluation of feeds; however, the measurements on animals require heavy experimental trials, which are hardly feasible when large numbers of determinations are required – for example, in genetic studies. This experiment aimed at investigating the possibility to predict digestibility from NIRS spectra measured on faeces. A total of 196 samples were available from a digestibility experiment investigating the effects of age and genetic background of Large White pigs fed the same diet, rich in fibre (NDF=21.4% DM). Digestibility of dry matter (dDM), organic matter (dOM), nitrogen content (dN), energy (dE) and apparent digestible energy content (ADE) were calculated, as well as total N content of faeces (N). The faeces samples were submitted to reflectance NIRS analysis after freeze-drying and grinding. Calibration errors and validation errors were, respectively, 0.08 and 0.13% DM for total N in faeces, 0.97% and 1.08% for dDM, 0.79% and 1.04% for dOM, 1.04% and 1.47% for dN, 0.87% and 1.12% for dE and 167 and 213 kJ/kg DM for ADE. These results indicate that NIRS can account for digestibility differences due to animal factors, with an acceptable accuracy. NIRS appears to be a promising tool for large-scale evaluations of digestibility. It could also be used for the study of digestibility of different feeds, after appropriate calibration based on a wide range of feed types.

Isolation from coastal sea water and characterization of bacterial strains involved in non-ionic surfactant degradation

A bacterial community degrading branched alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) was selected from coastal sea water intermittently polluted by urban sewage. This community degraded more than 99% of a standard surfactant, TRITON X 100, but I.R. analysis of the remaining compound showed the accumulation of APE₂ (alkylphenol with a two units length ethoxylated chain) which seemed very recalcitrant to further biodegradation. Twenty-five strains were isolated from this community, essentially Gram negative and were related to Pseudomonas, Oceanospirillum or Deleya genera. Among these strains, only four were able to degrade APE_9–10 (TRITON X 100). They were related to the Pseudomonas genus and were of marine origin. Pure cultures performed with these strains on TRITON X 100 gave APE₅ and APE₄ as end products. These products were further degraded to APE2 by two other strains unable to degrade the initial surfactant.

Identification of heterofermentative lactobacilli isolated from pig faeces by numerical analysis of total soluble cell protein patterns and RAPD-PCR

AIMS: The study deals with a number of heterofermentative Lactobacillus strains isolated from pig faeces and their identification. METHODS AND RESULTS: SDS-PAGE of total soluble cell proteins and RAPD-PCR profiles were used to identify the strains isolated from pig faeces. Protein profiles obtained with SDS-PAGE revealed that 15 strains clustered at r >or= 0.78 with Lactobacillus buchneri and nine strains at r >or= 0.77 with two reference strains of Lactobacillus reuteri. The identity of the strains was confirmed with RAPD-PCR. CONCLUSIONS: Numerical analysis of protein profiles and RAPD-PCR proved valuable in the differentiation of Lactobacillus spp. isolated from pig faeces. SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first report on the association of Lact. buchneri with pig faeces.     

Isolation of Salmonella strains from reptile faeces and comparison of different culture media

AIMS: To provide information on epidemiology and isolation of Salmonella strains from reptiles. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ninety-one samples collected from reptiles of the zoo of Rome or belonging to private owners were analysed using a standard protocol for isolation of Salmonella from food. Salmonella strains were tested for susceptibility to 15 antimicrobics by a disc-agar diffusion method. Forty-six samples (50.5%) were positive for Salmonella. Of the 22 strains serotyped, 17 belonged to Salmonella enterica subsp. I, four to the subsp. IIIa and one strain resulted untypeable. Rappaport-Vassiliadis broth (RVB) allowed to recover more Salmonella strains when bacterial growth in buffered peptone water (BPW) was scarce, while selenite cystine broth (SCB) was more efficient, whereas growth in BPW was abundant. The maximum isolation score was obtained by plating onto xylose lysine desoxycholate agar (XLD). The strains exhibited resistance at high percentages to colistin sulphate (58.7%), sulphamethoxazole (55.5%), streptomycin (32.6%), tetracycline (19.6%), ampicillin (17.4%) and nalidixic acid (13.1%). CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of Salmonella in reptiles was observed. For isolation, the choice of the enrichment broth depending on the degree of growth in BPW followed by plating onto XLD may be suggested. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This paper provides epidemiological data on the prevalence of Salmonella and laboratory protocols useful for isolation of Salmonella from faeces of reptiles.
