So far, two studies have associated nasal colonisation by Staphylococcus aureus and periodontitis sustained by Fretibacterium, Prevotella nigrescens, and
Selenomonas spp.
Effect of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture on lactate utilization by the ruminal bacterium
Selenomonas ruminantium.
Malic acid and fumaric acid are four-carbon dicarboxylic acids that are found in biological tissues (e.g., plants) as intermediates of the citric acid cycle and are intermediates in the succinate-propionate pathway of ruminal bacteria, such as
Selenomonas ruminantium, the main gram-negative ruminal bacteria that can account for more than 50% of the total viable bacteria within the rumen [21].
Isolation and characteristics of a ureolytic strain of
Selenomonas ruminantum.
An alignment of 175 taxa and 1311 characters was generated including
Selenomonas ruminantium (Firmicutes: Selenomonadales) as an outgroup.
The main pathways of the decorboxylation of that type of phenolics occur in the rumen and some ruminal bacteria, such as
Selenomonas sp., are able to detoxify tannic acids besides some other anti-nutritional factors of ruminant diets (Bhat et al., 1998; Singh et al., 2001).
Selenite intake and incorporation by
Selenomonas ruminantium.
Causative organisms include Treponema spp,
Selenomonas spp, Prevotella intermedia, Borrelia spp, Gram-positive cocci, beta-haemolytic group B streptococci and Candida albicans.
