Board-invited review: Recent advances in biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids within the rumen microbial ecosystem. (2008, background): “The bacteria are genetically very diverse, deriving from many different origins (Tajima et al., 1999, 2000, Edwards et al., 2004), whereas the protozoa are monophyletic, thought to have evolved from a symbiotic protozoan that established in the rumen 30 to 40 million years ago (Wright et al., 1997).”
Rumen Microbial Population Dynamics during Adaptation to a High-Grain Diet (2010, background): “Most of these studies have utilized culture-based techniques on a few indicator species, which have limited these studies to a few rumen bacterial species (46, 48, 51).”
Diet-Dependent Shifts in the Bacterial Population of the Rumen Revealed with Real-Time PCR (2001, methodology): “However, because of cultivation limitations, the real diversity of rumen microorganisms may be substantially underestimated, and recently, several works describing the molecular diversity of rumen bacteria based on the retrieval and sequencing of SSU ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences have been publishe”
Ruminal acidosis in beef cattle: the current microbiological and nutritional outlook. (2007, methodology): “Tajima et al. (2000) monitored changes in the ruminal bacterial community structure in cows during transition from roughage to high grain by PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S rDNA clone libraries.”
