| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to determine the core microbiome and its function in the rumen of JB cattle. MiSeq analysis of the microbiota revealed that Lachnospiraceae, Prevotellaceae, Ruminococcaceae, unclassified Bacteroidales and unclassified Clostridiales occupied more than 70% of rumen microbiota in JB cattle. Therefore, these five phylotypes were considered as core members of the microbiota, and we attempted to isolate starch degrading bacteria belonging to these phylotypes. Among 178 newly isolated strains, 12 strains were classified into either of target phylotypes; 5 strains for Lachnospiraceae, 5 strains for Ruminococcaceae and 2 strains for Prevotellaceae. Under different pH conditions, Lachnospiraceae strain grew at pH 5.5; meanwhile, strains of Prevotellaceae and Ruminococcaceae did not.
Therefore, the strains belonging to core phylotypes of rumen microbiota in JB cattle might be involved in feed digestion in different manners.
