• Saponin rich tropical fruits affect fermentation and methanogenesis in faunated and defaunated rumen fluid (2003, background): “From in vitro results, Wang et al. (2000) suggested that saponins may affect different bacteria species in different ways and that cellulolytic bacteria seem to be more susceptible to saponins than others.”
• A review of plant-derived essential oils in ruminant nutrition and production (2008, background): “Plant extracts, such as condensed tannins and steroidal saponins, have been extensively investigated for their inhibitory effects on ciliate ruminal protozoa (Wallace et al., 1994; Wang et al., 1996; Wang et al., 2000; Min et al., 2002).”
• Effect of plant extracts on in vitro methanogenesis, enzyme activities and fermentation of feed in rumen liquor of buffalo (2006, result): “concinna could be due to the presence of saponins and its inhibitory effect on protozoa, which is in agreement with previous studies (Wang et al., 2000; Ye et al., 2001; Lila et al., 2003).”
• Actual and potential applications of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria saponins in human and animal nutrition (2000, background): “Wang et al. in several studies (Wang et al. 1998; Wang et al. 2000a,b) noted that yucca saponins tended to promote ruminal amylolytic activity and depress cellulolytic activity.”
• The biological action of saponins in animal systems: a review. (2002, background): “Saponins have high toxicity against fungi (Delmas et al. 2000; Wang et al. 2000 a ).”
• Effects of addition of tea saponins and soybean oil on methane production, fermentation and microbial population in the rumen of growing lambs (2010, background): “The relative abundance of Ruminococcus was little affected by TS, but Wang et al. (2000) reported that the growth of Ruminococcus was negatively affected by saponins from Yucca.”
• Effect of plant extracts on methanogenesis and microbial profile of the rumen of buffalo: a brief overview (2008, background): “1995), the methane inhibition was attributed primarily to an adverse effect of saponins on hydrogen producing ciliate protozoa and cellulolytic bacteria (Wang et al. 2000) by reducing the availability of hydrogen for methanogenesis.”
• Plant extracts to manipulate rumen fermentation (2008, background): “Since no adaptation could be observed in pure protozoa cultures or mixed protozoa cultures washed free of bacteria (Teferedegne et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2000) degradation of the saponin in the rumen is the only likely reason that could explain such adaptation.”
