The growth of Streptococcus cremoris on a semidefined medium was studied at initial lactose concentrations of 0.2–5.0% in batch culture, and in lactose-limited chemostat cultures at 0.5% lactose. Kinetic analysis of the batch data, using statistical techniques, indicated the importance of lactose limitation and lactic acid inhibition of the growth of S. cremoris. A model for the biomass production, lactose utilization, and lactic acid production in batch culture was proposed. In continuous culture, it was found that steady state populations were maintained at higher dilution rates (D = 0.6–0.7 h−1) than the maximum predicted by batch culture (0.56 h−1). No evidence for a selection of fast-growing mutants was obtained. Copious growth adhering to the walls of the fermentor (i.e. wall growth) occurred very rapidly at higher dilution rates and this undoubtedly affected steady-state growth and wash-out and, as a consequence, the apparent maximum dilution rate.

Multistage ethanol production from lignocellulosic acid hydrolysate using two different microorganisms in two reactors enhances the utilization of all sugars (pentose and hexose), with higher ethanol productivity.

When sheep were acutely fed a grain diet, ruminal pH rapidly dropped to less than 5.0, lactic acid exceeded 100 mM and clinical symptoms of acidosis were evident within 24 h. When acute grain feeding was preceeded by inoculation of the rumen with 108 cfu of Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica strain JDB201, ruminal lactate was undetectable and ruminal pH was stabilized at 6.3-6.5 for up to 24 h. Inoculation of the rumen with a mixture of 108 cfu each of Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica strain JDB201 and Megasphaera elsdenii strain JDB301 was shown to be more effective than Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica alone and maintained ruminal stability following acute grain feeding for up to 4 days. A continuous culture model of acidosis was also developed to test the effect of probiotic inoculation in combination with 0.75 8g/mL of Virginiamycin in preventing lactate accumulation and establishing a stable fermentation in vitro. The data suggest that although probiotic treatment is effective, a combination of probiotic and antibiotic may be the best approach to achieve rapid ruminal adaptation during acute grain feeding of sheep.
