Extract

Ruminal microbes play a important role in the fermentation of structural plant polysaccharides, and constitute a major source of protein for the animal. Dietary protein provides amino acids which generally stimulate microbial growth rates and yields. The aim of this experiment was to identify, using a deletion approach, which individual amino acids limit fermentation of one of the main components of plant fibre, xylan.
