| ATCC 27210| DSM 20455| JCM 14654| Ruminococcus albus| Ruminococcus albus Hungate 1957| strain 7

1. Fiber Degradation:

   • Ruminococcus albus is known for its ability to degrade complex plant fibers. In the rumen, these bacteria contribute to the breakdown of cellulose and hemicellulose, which are components of plant cell walls. This fiber degradation is essential for the extraction of nutrients from plant-based diets.

2. Fermentation:

   • The activity of Ruminococcus albus is part of the complex microbial fermentation processes that occur in the rumen. This fermentation results in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gases, such as methane. SCFAs serve as an energy source for the host animal.

3. Methane Production:

   • Ruminococcus albus, like some other microorganisms in the rumen, contributes to the production of methane during fermentation. Methane production is a natural part of the digestive process in ruminants, but excessive methane emissions have environmental implications.

4. Nutrient Absorption:

   • By breaking down complex plant fibers, Ruminococcus albus aids in the release of nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by the host animal. This is crucial for the nutrition and overall health of ruminants.

5. Role in Rumen Ecosystem:

   • Ruminococcus albus is one of the many microorganisms that make up the complex ecosystem of the rumen. The interactions among various microbial species contribute to the efficiency of digestion and the overall health of the host animal.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
