rrna-based analysis to monitor succession of faecal bacterial communities in holstein calves.	to quantitatively analyse the faecal bacterial communities of holstein calves and track their succession up to 12 weeks of age.	2010	20849397
an rrna-based analysis for evaluating the effect of heat stress on the rumen microbial composition of holstein heifers.	we performed a set of heifer feeding trials to investigate the effect of heat and humidity stresses on the rumen bacterial molecular diversity of holstein heifers (tajima k, nonaka i, higuchi k, takusari n, kurihara m, takenaka a, et al. anaerobe 2007;13:57-64). to further characterize the response of the microbial community to the physiological changes caused by the stresses, we evaluated changes in the ruminal bacterial community composition in the same trials by applying an rna-based method ( ...	2010	19446029
evaluation of group-specific, 16s rrna-targeted scissor probes for quantitative detection of predominant bacterial populations in dairy cattle rumen.	to develop a suite of group-specific, rrna-targeted oligonucleotide scissor probes for the quantitative detection of the predominant bacterial groups within the ruminal microbial community with the rrna cleavage reaction-mediated microbial quantification method.	2007	17953610
butyrivibrio hungatei sp. nov. and pseudobutyrivibrio xylanivorans sp. nov., butyrate-producing bacteria from the rumen.	two novel gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, butyrate-producing bacterial species, strains mz 5t and jk 615t, were isolated from the rumen fluid of cow and sheep. both strains were curved rods that were motile by means of single polar or subpolar flagellum and common in the rumen microbial ecosystem. strain mz 5t produced high xylanase, proteinase, pectin hydrolase and dnase activities; 1,4-beta-endoglucanase was also detected in the culture medium. the bacterium utilized a wide range ...	2003	12656174
