Abstract

Rumen microorganisms utilize ammonia for microbial protein (MCP) synthesis mainly through glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) pathway and glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase (GS-GOGAT) pathway. There are several key enzymes such as GDH, alanine dehydrogenase (ADH), GS, glutamate synthetase (GOGAT) and so on in ammonia assimilation, whose activity are affected by ammonia concentration. This article mainly reviewed the characterisation of ammonia-assimilation by microorganisms in the rumen and the key enzymes involved.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition, 2010,22(5):1171-1176]
