Recent advances in chromatographic identification of CLA isomers, combined with interest
in their possible properties in promoting human health (eg, cancer prevention, decreased …

Odd-and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) in milk fat are largely derived from bacteria
leaving the rumen. The main OBCFA in milk of dairy cows are isomers of tetradecanoic acid …

Butyrate production in the large intestine and ruminant forestomach depends on bacterial
butyryl‐CoA/acetate‐CoA transferase activity and is highest when fermentable fiber and …

Ruminal microorganisms hydrogenate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present in forages
and thereby restrict the availability of health-promoting PUFA in meat and milk. The aim of …

To provide a comprehensive examination of the bacterial diversity in the rumen content of
cows fed different diets, high-throughput 16S rRNA gene-based pyrosequencing was used …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been shown to result in profound changes in the
composition and functions of the gut microbial flora which by disrupting intestinal epithelial …

The ruminal microbiome of cattle plays an important role not only in animal health and
productivity but also in food safety and environment. Microbial profiles of rumen fluid …

Microbial biohydrogenation of dietary poly‐unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty
acids (SFA) in the rumen results in the high ratio of SFA/PUFA in ruminant products, such as …

Lignocellulosic substrates are widely available but not easily applied in biogas production
due to their poor anaerobic degradation. The effect of bioaugmentation by anaerobic …

Syntrophic relationships are the key for biodegradation in methanogenic environments. We
review the ecological and physiological features of syntrophic communities involved in the …
