Inhibitory effects of titanium (III) citrate on enumeration of bacteria from rumen contents.

摘要: Titanium citrate (TC) or L-cysteine-sodium sulfide was added as a reducing agent to buffers and agar media used for enumeration of bacteria from rumen contents high-forage-fed steers. Approximately equal colony counts were found on TC sulfide-reduced with taken 8 h postfeeding, when active bacterial growth occurring. The medium only 56% those 1 prefeeding minimal. When colonies transferred vice versa, almost all grew. data indicate that can be inhibitory upon their initial isolation natural habitats, particularly rates are low in these habitats.
