Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the changes in the diversity of rumen fiber-degrading bacteria in dairy cows enriched with different fiber sources. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design and divided into four groups, namely, control group without carbon source (CK group), sodium carboxymethylcellulose group (CMC group), microcrystalline cellulose group (MCC group) and Whatman No.1 filter paper group (WN group), with six replicates in each group. In vitro rumen fermentation tests were carried out to study the effects of different fiber sources on fermentation parameters and microflora structure. The results showed as follows: 1) the pH in both MCC and WN groups was significantly lower than that in CK and CMC groups (P<0.05). The concentrations of acetic acid, butyric acid and valeric acid as well as the acetic acid to propanoic acid ratio in all experimental groups were significantly higher than those in CK group (P<0.05); the isobutyric acid concentration in CMC group was significantly higher than that in CK group (P<0.05); the concentrations of propionic acid, isobutyric acid and total volatile fatty acids in MCC group were significantly higher than those in CK group (P<0.05), and the isovaleric acid concentration was significantly lower than that in CK group (P<0.05); the concentrations of propionic acid and total volatile fatty acids in WN group were significantly higher than those in CK group (P<0.05), and the isovaleric acid concentration was significantly lower than that in CK group (P<0.05). 2) In α diversity analysis, the indices of Chao1, Sobs, Simpson, Shannon, Pielou_e and PD in MCC and WN group were significantly lower than those in CK and CMC groups (P<0.05). At the phylum level, the Firmicutes relative abundance in all experimental groups was significantly higher than that in CK group (P<0.05), and the relative abundances of Bacteroidetes and Synergistetes were significantly lower than those in CK group (P<0.05); the Fibrobacteres relative abundance in MCC group was significantly higher than that in the other experimental groups and CK group (P<0.05). At the genus level, the relative abundances of Bacteroides, Pyramidobacter and Oscillospira in all experimental groups were significantly lower than that in CK group (P<0.05); the Clostridium relative abundance in CMC group was significantly higher than that in CK group (P<0.05), and the relative abundances of Prevotella and Succiniclasticum were significantly lower than those in CK group (P<0.05); the relative abundances of Lachnospira, Clostridium, Ruminococcus, Prevotella and Fibrobacter in MCC group were significantly higher than those in CK group (P<0.05), and the relative abundances of Succiniclasticum and Butyrivibrio in MCC group were significantly lower than those in CK group (P<0.05); the relative abundances of Lachnospira and Ruminococcus in WN group were significantly higher than those in CK group (P<0.05), and the Butyrivibrio relative abundance was significantly lower than that in CK group (P<0.05). 3) The Bacteroides relative abundance had a significant negative correlation with concentrations of acetic acid and valeric acid (P<0.05); the relative abundances of Lachnospira and Ruminococcus had a significant positive correlation with the concentrations of acetic acid, butyric acid and total volatile fatty acids (P<0.05), and had a significant negative correlation with the isovaleric acid concentration and pH (P<0.05); the Clostridium relative abundance had a significant positive correlation with the isobutyric acid concentration (P<0.05); the Prevotella relative abundance had a significant positive correlation with the propionic acid content (P<0.05). In conclusion, the highest degradation rate of Whatman No.1 filter paper was achieved by the rumen fiber-degrading bacteria in dairy cows; the preference of rumen fiber-degrading bacteria in dairy cows for different fiber sources varies markedly, with sodium carboxymethylcellulose being enriched for Clostridium, microcrystalline cellulose being enriched for Fibrobacter, and Whatman No.1 filter paper being enriched for Ruminococcus.

反刍动物的瘤胃是降解纤维素的高效的“生物反应器”。大量的瘤胃微生物将植物纤维物质转化为微生物蛋白和挥发性脂肪酸,在满足自身的营养需要的同时,还能够满足宿主的营养需要[1-3]。随着人们对瘤胃微生物的不断探索,已有大量文献报道了用于分离瘤胃微生物的培养基及分离方法。刘占英[4]使用羧甲基纤维素钠作为唯一碳源依据“透明圈”的大小来筛选到绵羊瘤胃内23株纤维降解菌。但由于羧甲基纤维素钠的羧甲基对外切纤维素酶有阻碍作用,使用“透明圈法”筛选到的纤维降解菌还需要使用Whatman No.1滤纸进行复筛。程超[5]先使用Whatman No.1滤纸作为唯一碳源配制液体培养基对瘤胃纤维降解菌初筛后,再使用纤维二糖分离纯化。刘玉承[6]使用Whatman No.1滤纸初筛,再使用纤维素粉分离纯化。国内外学者使用不同的分离方法和不同的碳源分离瘤胃纤维降解菌。然而,目前关于瘤胃纤维降解菌对不同纤维源的偏好性还鲜有报道。因此,本试验旨在通过在体外条件下利用3种代表性纤维碳源(羧甲基纤维素钠、微晶纤维素和Whatman No.1滤纸)富集奶牛瘤胃纤维降解菌,研究其菌群多样性的变化,以期为瘤胃菌群纤维降解机制的阐明和反刍动物饲粮纤维的高效利用提供理论参考。

3 讨论

3.1 不同纤维源对发酵液发酵参数的影响

挥发性脂肪酸产量是衡量发酵品质的重要指标[8]。一般而言,正常瘤胃和体外产气的总挥发性脂肪酸浓度应至少在80 mmol/L以上[11]。本试验的总挥发性脂肪酸浓度很低,可能有两方面的原因:1)本次试验使用的培养底物是纯度达到99%的纤维素,极难降解。2)培养技术的差异。本试验借鉴了苛养厌氧菌(瘤胃球菌)的体外培养技术,培养过程在亨氏管中进行,强调了培养全程的厌氧性。在瘤胃液接种时,产气试验普遍使用瘤胃液与缓冲液1∶2混合,本试验瘤胃液与培养基1∶9混合。
羧甲基纤维素钠化学式为[C6H7O2(OH)2CH2COONa]n,是由天然纤维素经过化学改性得到的一种水溶性纤维素醚。研究表明,羧甲基纤维素钠的羧甲基对外切纤维素酶有阻碍作用,可用于内切纤维素酶活的测定[1]。微晶纤维素是一种以β-1,4-糖苷键结合的直链式多糖,可用于外切纤维素酶活的测定。而Whatman No.1滤纸是一种经过特殊处理的高纯度不溶性纤维素,其α-纤维素含量在98%以上。Whatman No.1滤纸广泛用于总纤维素酶活的测定。在本试验条件下,Whatman No.1滤纸组(WN组)发酵液总挥发性脂肪酸浓度最高,其次是MCC组,最后是CMC组,且pH排序正好相反。产酸效率和pH可以间接反映瘤胃微生物对纤维素的降解效率[12]。由于羧甲基对外切纤维素酶的阻碍作用,瘤胃微生物对羧甲基纤维素钠的降解效率较低。而外切葡聚糖酶在纤维降解过程中起中心作用[4],瘤胃微生物对Whatman No.1滤纸和微晶纤维素均有较高的分解效率。此外,瘤胃微生物对不同纤维源降解速率的差异可能与纤维降解机制有关。瘤胃纤维降解菌往往需要附着于纤维素表面,将分泌的纤维素酶与纤维素紧紧黏结在一起来发挥纤维降解功能[13]。相比于另2种纤维素,Whatman No.1滤纸具有疏松多孔的特性,易于附着。因此,瘤胃微生物对Whatman No.1滤纸的降解速率最高。
大多数纤维降解菌(黄色瘤胃球菌和白色瘤胃球菌)的发酵终产物是乙酸而不是丙酸,当饲料纤维含量增加时,瘤胃液的乙丙比往往增加[14]。这与本研究结果一致,添加不同纤维源的发酵液乙丙比均显著提高,并在CMC组达到最高。支链脂肪酸(异丁酸和异戊酸)主要来源于蛋白质降解后的氨基酸(缬氨酸、亮氨酸和异亮氨酸)经氧化脱氨基和脱羧基产物[15]。大量研究表明,反刍动物饲粮中添加异丁酸[16]和异戊酸[17]能显著提高纤维分解菌数量和纤维素酶活性。本试验中,发酵液的异丁酸和异戊酸含量分别于CMC组、MCC组和WN组依次降低,与纤维降解效率成反比。这可能与纤维降解菌的利用有关,瘤胃内的主要纤维降解菌(白色瘤胃球菌、黄色瘤胃球菌和琥珀酸丝状杆菌)往往需要在低浓度的支链脂肪酸条件下生长[18]。在瘤胃球菌的分离培养基中需要加入3%的支链脂肪酸混合液,且当培养基中添加100~300 mmol/L的挥发性脂肪酸混合物时,白色瘤胃球菌对羧甲基纤维素的降解能力会显著提高[4]。戊酸的生物合成与丙酸有关,当丙酸与电子供体之间发生链延伸反应过程时,戊酸的偶链和奇链可以作为中间产物产生[19]。在纯培养条件下,克氏梭状芽孢杆菌(Clostridium kluyveri)可以使用乙醇作为电子供体将丙酸转化为戊酸[20]。本次的试验结果验证了戊酸和丙酸之间的相关性,发酵液中戊酸的变化趋势与丙酸相同。

3.2 不同纤维源对发酵液细菌群落的影响

pH对微生物的生长繁殖有较大影响[21]。研究表明,当瘤胃内pH由6.5下降到5.8时,瘤胃菌群密度显著下降[22]。同时,瘤胃内的纤维素降解与pH有较大的依赖性,瘤胃内主要的纤维降解菌(白色瘤胃球菌、黄色瘤胃球菌和产琥珀酸丝状杆菌)不能在pH<6的酸性条件下正常生长[23]。本试验中,CMC组和CK组发酵液的菌群α多样性显著高于MCC组和WN组,这可能与发酵液pH变化有关,pH的变化影响了菌群的丰富度和均匀度。
瘤胃微生物是具有高适应性的生态群,菌群结构会根据底物类型发生变化。富纤维饲粮使瘤胃内纤维降解菌增加,富淀粉饲粮使淀粉降解菌增加[24]。厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门是本试验条件下的优势菌门,当Whatman No.1滤纸为唯一碳源时,厚壁菌门相对丰度最高(68.8%~74.4%)。厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门是反刍动物瘤胃内的主要菌门[25]。厚壁菌门主要参与纤维物质的分解代谢[26],目前对牛瘤胃中纤维素降解的研究主要集中在厚壁菌门中分离的少数菌株,即白色瘤胃球菌和黄色瘤胃球菌。拟杆菌门主要参与非纤维碳水化合物的降解。研究表明,拟杆菌门的碳水化合物降解能力与一种被称为多糖利用位点(PULs)的基因簇有关[27]。PULs主要作用于淀粉、半纤维素和果胶,可能有助于从半纤维素基质中释放纤维素[28]。纤维杆菌门是另一个参与木质纤维素降解的重要菌门。关鹏等[29]研究表明,纤维杆菌门和纤维杆菌属相对丰度变化与饲粮中性洗涤纤维含量有关。
瘤胃球菌属是奶牛瘤胃中最重要的纤维降解类群,瘤胃球菌属的成员(白色瘤胃球菌和黄色瘤胃球菌)是瘤胃中主要的纤维降解菌。黄色瘤胃球菌和白色瘤胃球菌会利用纤维小体来促进植物纤维在瘤胃内的降解。纤维小体是一种能够使微生物黏附到纤维素上,从而在超微结构上降解纤维素的多模块酶复合物[1]。研究证实,黄色瘤胃球菌能够编码大量的锚定蛋白和新型碳水化合物结合模块(CBMs)[30]。基因组分析表明,纤维小体蛋白在黄色瘤胃球菌的不同菌株间存在差异,其锚定蛋白数量在53~223[31]。黄色瘤胃球菌FD-1的纤维小体多达14酶亚基,这些酶亚基被组装在4个不同的支架蛋白上[32]。但与黄色瘤胃球菌相比,白色瘤胃球菌锚定蛋白编码基因较少,在3株已测序的菌株中,2株仅含有1个锚定蛋白编码基因[33]。除此之外,瘤胃球菌属的很多菌株都可以降解十分牢固的纤维素种类,如棉花纤维[34]。反刍动物瘤胃中有大量瘤胃球菌属来源糖苷水解酶第48家族(GH48)基因序列,并且这些基因有丰富的多样性[35]。而GH48家族成员是外切纤维素酶的重要来源之一,可以通过和其它糖苷水解酶形成纤维小体或者自由酶体系2种方式来降解纤维素[36]。本试验中,瘤胃球菌属在固态纤维素(滤纸和微晶纤维素)发酵液的相对丰度显著高于液态纤维素(羧甲基纤维素钠)发酵液。这可能与瘤胃球菌的纤维小体酶解机制有关。通过纤维小体降解机制,使瘤胃球菌黏附于纤维素表面[28],可以使纤维降解菌分泌的纤维素酶与底物直接接触,最大限度减少纤维素酶进入瘤胃液中造成的浪费。黏附可以使瘤胃球菌优先获得纤维素水解产物(如纤维二糖和纤维三糖),避免这些纤维降解产物被非纤维降解菌利用[37]。并有研究表明,当在可溶性的甲基纤维素上培养黄色瘤胃球菌时,黄色瘤胃球菌无法降解纤维素[38]
纤维杆菌属隶属于纤维杆菌门,同样是瘤胃中最主要的纤维降解类群之一,产琥珀酸丝状杆菌是其重要成员。有研究指出,产琥珀酸丝状杆菌的纤维降解机制比其他纤维降解微生物更有效,比如琥珀酸丝状杆菌S85和A3C能够比白色瘤胃球菌和黄色瘤胃球菌从完整饲粮中降解更多的纤维素[39]。产琥珀酸丝状杆菌缺乏锚定蛋白和黏结蛋白,且不编码任何外切葡聚糖酶,不能够利用纤维小体和游离酶这2种机制降解纤维素[40]。有研究者提出产琥珀酸丝状杆菌可能的纤维降解机制[41]:产琥珀酸丝状杆菌会利用纤维黏液蛋白和菌毛附着于纤维素上,使纤维素与外膜表面的内切葡聚糖酶结合,并产生含有碳水化合物活性酶(CAzymes)的外膜囊泡来水解纤维素。有研究提出,产琥珀酸丝状杆菌的外膜囊泡可以破坏木质纤维素的复杂结构来增强细菌对纤维素的降解与利用[42]。因此,产琥珀酸丝状杆菌具有很强的降解结构性坚韧物质(如秸秆)的能力,能够降解一些不被黄色瘤胃球菌降解的某些同质晶体纤维素[37]。这与本试验结果一致,纤维杆菌门和纤维杆菌属在MCC组的相对丰度显著高于CMC组和WN组。
梭菌属的很多菌株都具有迅速消化纤维素的能力。比如早期报道的Clostridium lochheadii,是一株可以快速分解蛋白质的纤维分解菌,Hungate将这个物种描述为“从瘤胃中分离出来的最快的纤维降解者”[43],其纤维降解能力甚至优于琥珀酸丝状杆菌和黄色瘤胃球菌。在本试验中,梭菌属的相对丰度在CMC组中最高,显著高于CK组和其他试验组,梭菌属的菌株可能具备较强的分泌内切纤维素酶的能力。溶纤维丁酸弧菌是瘤胃中代谢最丰富的纤维降解菌,其可发酵范围广,且在不同菌株间存在很大差异[44]。本试验中,不同纤维源下丁酸弧菌属相对丰度均较低,这可能是由于该菌的培养条件较高,在完整细胞壁和纤维素上生长较差,在实验室条件下的溶纤维丁酸弧菌很难表现出瘤胃中的纤维降解活性。拟杆菌属和琥珀酸单胞菌属是瘤胃中存在的淀粉降解菌,在本试验中,其相对丰度随不同纤维素的添加而显著下降。然而,普雷沃氏菌属同样是典型的淀粉降解菌,但其在MCC组相对丰度却显著升高。普雷沃氏菌属可能与其他纤维降解菌(如纤维杆菌属)存在协作机制,能够利用其他菌的纤维降解产物。

3.3 不同纤维源发酵液发酵参数与细菌群落关联分析

瘤胃球菌属是重要的产乙酸菌,其可以利用纤维素、木聚糖和纤维二糖等不同发酵底物产生大量的乙酸、甲酸或乳酸,并产生氢气(H2)和CO2。本研究结果表明,瘤胃球菌相对丰度与乙酸浓呈显著正相关,这与王亚玲等[45]的研究结果一致。普雷沃氏菌属是广泛存在于瘤胃且数量最多的一类细菌,其菌株间遗传差异大。研究表明,栖普雷沃氏菌属和布氏普雷沃氏菌可产生木聚糖酶和羧甲基纤维素酶,但是由于缺少真正的纤维素酶,因此在纯培养时不能降解细胞壁,但与纤维降解菌共培养时能有效利用木聚糖和果胶,并主要通过丙烯酸途径合成丙酸[46]。本研究进一步验证了普雷沃氏菌相对丰度与丙酸浓度的相关关系,即使在以纤维素作为唯一碳源时,普雷沃氏菌属也能够与纤维降解菌协作产生丙酸。毛螺菌属能够利用果胶、纤维二糖及木聚糖等产生乙酸和乳酸,广泛参与瘤胃中半纤维素的降解,但不能降解纤维素[47]。本试验结果表明,毛螺菌属可能与瘤胃球菌属存在共生关系,其相对丰度变化同瘤胃球菌属一致。
