Fine Structural Demonstration Of Anionic Sites On Streptococcal And Staphylococcal Envelopes By Cationic Dyes, Yosun Mater, Sabi̇re Karaçali Jan 2001

Fine Structural Demonstration Of Anionic Sites On Streptococcal And Staphylococcal Envelopes By Cationic Dyes, Yosun Mater, Sabi̇re Karaçali

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Anionic sites on bacterial envelopes of Streptococcus \beta-haemolyticus and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 P were investigated on materials fixed with Karnovsky fixative containing the cationic dyes ruthenium red (RR) or alcian blue (AB). Electron dense granules and short fibrils were found to be irregularly distributed around the cells on the glycocalyces of both genera. An electron dense stained reaction with RR or AB on the cell membrane and glycocalyx indicates the presence of rich anionic sites on these structures. Electron microscopic observations demonstrate that anionic sites in the glycocalyx are responsible for the adherence phenomenon during the formation of microcolonies. …

Effects Of Some Dietary Factors On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell Jan 2001

Effects Of Some Dietary Factors On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effects of some dietary factors, other than source and amount of N and carbohydrate, on the amount and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis are discussed in this review. Specifically, these factors include dry matter intake of animals, forage:concentrate ratio of diets, rate of N and carbohydrate degradation, synchronized release of N and energy from diets, rate of passage, and other factors, such as vitamins and minerals. It seemed that diets containing a mixture of forages and concentrates increase the efficiency of microbial protein synthesis because of an improved rumen environment for the growth of more diverse bacteria species.
