Abstract

Condensed tannin (CT) fractions of different molecular weights (MWs) may affect the rumen microbial metabolism by altering bacterial diversity. In this study, the effects of unfractionated CTs (F0) and five CT fractions (F1-F5) of different MWs (F1=1265.8 Da, F2=1,028.6 Da, F3=652.2 Da, F4=562.2 Da and F5=469.6 Da) from Leucaena leucocephala hybrid-Rendang (LLR) on the structure and diversity of the rumen bacterial community were investigated in vitro. Real-time PCR assay showed that the total bacterial population was not significantly (P > 0.05) different among the dietary treatments. Inclusion of higher-MW CT fractions F1 and F2 significantly (P < 0.05) increased the Fibrobacter succinogens population compared to F0 and CT fractions F3-F5. Although inclusion of F0 and CT fractions (F1-F5) significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the Ruminococcus flavefaciens population, there was no effect on the R. albus population when compared to the control (without CTs). High-throughput sequencing of the V3 region of 16S rRNA showed that the relative abundance of genera Prevotella and unclassified Clostridiales significantly (P < 0.05) decreased, corresponding with increasing MWs of CT fractions, whereas the cellulolytic bacteria of the genus Fibrobacter was significantly (P < 0.05) increased. Inclusion of higher-MW CT fractions F1 and/or F2 decreased the relative abundance of minor genera such as Ruminococcus, Streptococcus, Clostridium XIVa, and Anaeroplasma, but increased the relative abundance of Acinetobacter, Treponema, Selenomonas, Succiniclasticum, and unclassified Spirochaetales compared to the control and lower-MWs CT fractions. This study indicates that CT fractions of different MWs may play an important role in altering the structure and diversity of the rumen bacterial community in vitro, and the impact was more pronounced for CT fractions with higher MW.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 May 2017.
All research outputs
#21,921,572
of 24,458,924 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
#3,636
of 4,511 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#263,401
of 305,483 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
#59
of 80 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,458,924 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,511 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,483 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 80 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
