This book offers an in-depth description of different groups of
microbes (i.e. bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses) that exist in
the rumen microbial community, and offers an overview of rumen
microbiology, the rumen microbial ecosystem of domesticated
ruminants, and rumen microbial diversity. It provides the latest
concepts on rumen microbiology for scholars, researchers and
teachers of animal and veterinary sciences. With this goal in mind,
throughout the text we focus on specific areas related to the
biology and complex interactions of the microbes in rumen,
integrating significant key issues in each respective area. We also
discuss rumen manipulation with plant secondary metabolites,
microbial feed additives, utilization of organic acids, selective
inhibition of harmful rumen microbes, and 'omics' approaches to
manipulating rumen microbial functions. A section on the
exploration and exploitation of rumen microbes addresses topics
including the current state of knowledge on rumen metagenomics,
rumen: an underutilized niche for industrially important enzymes
and ruminal fermentations to produce fuels. We next turn our
attention to commercial applications of rumen microbial enzymes and
to the molecular characterization of euryarcheal communities within
an anaerobic digester. A section on intestinal disorders and rumen
microbes covers acidosis in cattle, urea/ ammonia metabolism in the
rumen and nitrate/ nitrite toxicity in ruminant diets. Last, the
future prospects of rumen microbiology are examined, based on the
latest developments in this area. In summary, the book offers a
highly systematic collection of essential content on rumen
microbiology.
