Título: | Resistance of rumen bacteria murein to bovine gastric lysozyme |
Autor: | Domínguez-Bello, María G.; Pacheco, María CSIC; Ruiz, Marie C.; Michelangeli, Fabián; Leippe, Matthias; Pedro, Miguel Ángel de CSIC | Palabras clave: | Bovine gastric lysozyme | Fecha de publicación: | 11-may-2004 | Editor: | BioMed Central | Citación: | BMC Ecology 2004, 4:7 | Resumen: | [Background] Lysozymes, enzymes mostly associated with defence against bacterial infections, are
mureinolytic. Ruminants have evolved a gastric c type lysozyme as a digestive enzyme, and profit
from digestion of foregut bacteria, after most dietary components, including protein, have been
fermented in the rumen. In this work we characterized the biological activities of bovine gastric
secretions against membranes, purified murein and bacteria. [Results] Bovine gastric extract (BGE) was active against both G+ and G- bacteria, but the effect against Gram- bacteria was not due to the lysozyme, since purified BGL had only activity against Gram+ bacteria. We were unable to find small pore forming peptides in the BGE, and found that the inhibition of Gram negative bacteria by BGE was due to an artefact caused by acetate. We report for first time the activity of bovine gastric lysozyme (BG lysozyme) against pure bacterial cultures, and the specific resistance of some rumen Gram positive strains to BGL. [Conclusions] Some Gram+ rumen bacteria showed resistance to abomasum lysozyme. We discuss the implications of this finding in the light of possible practical applications of such a stable antimicrobial peptide. |
