[Glutamine metabolism by rumen microorganisms: effect of monensin]. 1992

G I Kalachniuk, and M Marounek, and L H Kalachniuk, and O G Savka, and Herasymiv

Transformation of glutamine of mixed population of microorganisms-symbionts is demonstrated. Protection of glutamine and its intermediates (glutamate and pyroglutamate) under the influence of ionophore (monensin) is found. It is accompanied by the reduced (by 30-70 per cent and more) levels of ammonia formation, total VFA, acetate, butyrate, pH, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase at parallel increase of L-aspartate and L-alanine: 2-oxoglutarate, aminotransferase activity, redox potential of stability of protein content. It is suggested that the rapid change of Eh level on the 24th hour of incubation reflects the main stage of pyroglutamate formation being one of the final products of glutamine degradation when monensin is used. Ionophore affects first of all the inhibition of metabolic processes in gram-positive rumen microorganisms.

D008985 Monensin An antiprotozoal agent produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It exerts its effect during the development of first-generation trophozoites into first-generation schizonts within the intestinal epithelial cells. It does not interfere with hosts' development of acquired immunity to the majority of coccidial species. Monensin is a sodium and proton selective ionophore and is widely used as such in biochemical studies.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
