Studies on the Significance of Three Bacillus species to the Ensiling Process

The activities of Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus polymyxa were examined in a defined environment prepared to simulate a grass with low contents of dry matter and water-soluble carbohydrates. All of these organisms produced lactic and acetic acids, and their growth was not suppressed by these fermentation products nor by low pH. The acid content of silages made by inoculation with lactic acid bacteria alone and in combination with each of the bacilli was greater than in the silages containing each of the bacilli alone. The acid content of the silages with lactic acid bacteria was not increased by the presence of bacilli. It is concluded that bacilli can compete with lactic acid bacteria for substrate but contribute little to the fermentation and in this context should be discouraged.     

Microbiological and Biochemical Study of Coffee Fermentation

The coffee fermentation microflora were rich and mainly constituted of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli, with Erwinia and Klebsiella genuses at the highest frequencies. The best population increase was observed with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, whereas those microorganisms that counted on a pectin medium remained constant during the fermentation step. Qualitatively, lactic acid bacteria belonged mainly to Leuconostoc mesenteroides species but the others microflora were relatively heterogeneous. The microorganisms isolated on pectin medium were Enterobacteriaceae, identified as Erwinia herbicola and Klebsiella pneumoniae, not reported as strong pectolytic strains. Throughout coffee fermentation, 60% of the simple sugars were degraded by the total microflora and not specifically by pectolytic microorganisms.

The use of direct-fed microbials for mitigation of ruminant methane emissions: a review

Concerns about the environmental effect and the economic burden of methane (CH₄) emissions from ruminants are driving the search for ways to mitigate rumen methanogenesis. The use of direct-fed microbials (DFM) is one possible option to decrease CH₄ emission from ruminants. Direct-fed microbials are already used in ruminants mainly to increase productivity and to improve health, and are readily accepted by producers and consumers alike. However, studies on the use of DFM as rumen CH₄ mitigants are scarce. A few studies using Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown a CH₄-decreasing effect but, to date, there has not been a systematic exploration of DFM as modulators of rumen methanogenesis. In this review, we explored biochemical pathways competing with methanogenesis that, potentially, could be modulated by the use of DFM. Pathways involving the redirection of H₂ away from methanogenesis and pathways producing less H₂ during feed fermentation are the preferred options. Propionate formation is an example of the latter option that in addition to decrease CH₄ formation increases the retention of energy from the diet. Homoacetogenesis is a pathway using H₂ to produce acetate, however up to now no acetogen has been shown to efficiently compete with methanogens in the rumen. Nitrate and sulphate reduction are pathways competing with methanogenesis, but the availability of these substances in the rumen is limited. Although there were studies using nitrate and sulphate as chemical additives, use of DFM for improving these processes and decrease the accumulation of toxic metabolites needs to be explored more. There are some other pathways such as methanotrophy and capnophily or modes of action such as inhibition of methanogens that theoretically could be provided by DFM and affect methanogenesis. We conclude that DFM is a promising alternative for rumen methane mitigation that should be further explored for their practical usage.     

Effect of various peptides on the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Ten oligopeptides containing asparagine, glutamic acid, leucine or alanine on growth of Bacillus tuberculosis were tested. The experiments were performed on AS medium free of peptones. Bacterial suspensions were inoculated and the number of colonies and rapidity of bacilli growth under an influence of peptides tested was compared. Out of peptides studied and their different combinations the best turned to be combination of 0.01% glutathione +0.002% Gly-Asn + 0.0033% Leu-Gly. This combination allowed to appear on average 46% colonies more than on medium without peptides and first growth of tubercle bacilli was seen on average 3.2 days earlier than on medium free of peptides. Addition to the medium containing three above listed peptides of 0.1% of Bacto Tryptone (Difco) caused an increase of 127% of colony number of tubercle bacilli and their growth appeared 1.7 day earlier as compared to growth on medium containing these three peptides.     

Difluoromethane, a New and Improved Inhibitor of Methanotrophy

Difluoromethane (HFC-32; DFM) is compared to acetylene and methyl fluoride as an inhibitor of methanotrophy in cultures and soils. DFM was found to be a reversible inhibitor of CH₄ oxidation by Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath). Consumption of CH₄ in soil was blocked by additions of low levels of DFM (0.03 kPa), and this inhibition was reversed by DFM removal. Although a small quantity of DFM was consumed during these incubations, its remaining concentration was sufficiently elevated to sustain inhibition. Methanogenesis in anaerobic soil slurries, including acetoclastic methanogenesis, was unaffected by levels of DFM which inhibit methanotrophy. Low levels of DFM (0.03 kPa) also inhibited nitrification and N₂O production by soils. DFM is proposed as an improved inhibitor of CH₄ oxidation over acetylene and/or methyl fluoride on the basis of its reversibility, its efficacy at low concentrations, its lack of inhibition of methanogenesis, and its low cost.     

Extracellular amylase synthesis by Bacillus globisporus BH-1b

Despite the prevalence of starch-hydrolyzing enzymes in bacilli, relatively few have been studied in detail. In an attempt to isolate an effective α-amylase-producing strain, Bacillus globisporus BH-1b has been isolated. The strain requires few nutritional supplements and shows induction in the presence of galactose. 2% potassium nitrate and pH 7.2 emerged as optimum for the fermentation medium. The durability of the enzyme has also been tested at a low pH and a high temperature.     

Antimycobacterial activity of lecithin-cholesterol liposomes in the presence of phospholipase A2.

Tubercle bacilli were preincubated with lecithin-cholesterol liposomes to be subsequently exposed to phospholipase A2. After further incubation in the environment of acidic buffer, viable units in the final mixture were enumerated by inoculating the serial dilutions of an aliquot onto Kirchner agar medium containing horse serum in 5%. Another aliquot was used for lipid analyses to confirm hydrolysis of lecithin. In addition to this bactericidal type of experiments, bacteriostatic tests were also conducted with Kirchner semi-solid agar medium, into which liposome-treated bacilli were inoculated with the enzyme at a time. Various natural and synthetic lecithins different in constituent fatty acids were employed. The results indicated that toxic fatty acids released from lecithin acted to kill the bacilli or to inhibit their growth.

Liver in Leprosy: Histological and Biochemical Findings

The histological findings and their correlation with biochemical functions of the liver in 240 leprosy patients are presented. In 21% with tuberculoid leprosy and in 62% with lepromatous leprosy leprous granulomata were found in the liver. A significant prevalence of granulomatous lesions in the liver among patients with tuberculoid and borderline-tuberculoid leprosy of less than one year''s duration suggests that bacillaemia occurs early in all forms of leprosy.There was a direct correlation between bacterial index and the presence of acid-fast bacilli in the liver. Of 50 patients with negative skin smears seven had acid-fast bacilli at liver biopsy. From none of these liver homogenates were acid-fast bacilli grown on culture in Löwenstein-Jensen medium.The alterations in liver functions were more consistently seen when acid-fast bacilli were associated with the presence of leprous granulomatous lesions. The acid-fast bacilli were found to persist even after one to five years of specific antileprosy therapy and after the bacilli in the skin had cleared up. This may explain the relatively frequent recrudescence or relapse of the bacillated types of leprosy when specific antileprosy therapy is stopped soon after bacterial negativity is attained on skin smears.     

Iron and copper requirements for proliferation and differentiation of a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60)

Trace mineral deficiencies tend to have profound effects on the integrity of formed blood elements. Anemia and neutropenia are commonly seen in copper (Cu) deficiency. We therefore developed a serum-free medium to examine the trace mineral requirements, in particular iron and Cu, for proliferation and retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells. This defined medium (DFM) was composed of Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) supplemented with insulin and human apo-transferrin (each at 5 μg/ml) and 1.4 μM FeSO₄. The iron concentration range for optimal cellular proliferation was narrow (2–3 μM). HL-60 cells could be maintained in DFM for 15 passages with a doubling time of 38–40 hr. The Cu content of IMDM was very low. Thus, by the fourth passage in DFM, the activity of cuproenzymes (cytochrome c oxidase, CCO; and copperzinc superoxide dismutase, CuZnSOD) began to decline. Supplementation of DFM with CuSO₄ (50 nM) restored enzyme activities. Treatment of cells with a Cu chelator (tetrathiomolybdate, 1 μM) rapidly reduced the activities of both CCO and CuZnSOD. Over the Cu concentration range examined (5–350 nM), Cu supplementation had little effect on HL-60 proliferation. Cell retained the ability to differentiate along the granulocytic pathway when treated with RA, but seemed to be less sensitive to the inducing agent except at the highest concentration tested (1 μM). This decreased sensitivity to RA did not seem to be related to the Cu status of the cells but rather to the absence of a component of serum. Indeed, cells grown in DFM regained their sensitivity to RA when allowed to differentiate in IMDM with 5% serum. These data indicate that the processes of growth and terminal differentiation in HL-60 cells are not greatly influenced by Cu. Thus, it seems likely that the insult resulting in neutropenia which is associated with Cu deficiency may occur earlier than the promyelocytic stage. However, the possibility that the mechanisms contributing to neutropenia may be unrelated to primary defects in the biochemistry of neutrophil maturation cannot be ruled out. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
