DOI: 10.1111/jpn.13034
Abstract: Two consecutive experiments were carried out to determine efficacy of Megasphaera elsdenii inoculation in alleviation of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). In the first experiment, SARA was induced by feeding corn- and wheat-based diets (20%, 40%,… read more here.

Megasphaera elsdenii Lactate Degradation Pattern Shifts in Rumen Acidosis Models
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.00162
Abstract: Background: Megasphaera elsdenii is an ecologically important rumen bacterium that metabolizes lactate and relieves rumen acidosis (RA) induced by a high-grain-diet. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of the lactate metabolism of this species in RA conditions… read more here.
