Abstract

When mixed rumen microorganisms were incubated in media containing the amino acid source Trypticase, both monensin and carbon monoxide (a hydrogenase inhibitor) decreased methane formation and amino acid fermentation. Both of the methane inhibitors caused a significant increase in the ratio of intracellular NADH to NAD. Studies with cell extracts of rumen bacteria and protozoa indicated that the ratio of NADH to NAD had a marked effect on the deamination of reduced amino acids, in particular branched-chain amino acids. Deamination was inhibited by the addition of NADH and was stimulated by methylene blue, an agent that oxidizes NADH. Neutral and oxidized amino acids were unaffected by NADH. The addition of small amounts of 2-oxoglutarate greatly enhanced the deamination of branched-chain amino acids and indicated that transamination via glutamate dehydrogenase was important. Formation of ammonia from glutamate was likewise inhibited by NADH. These experiments indicated that reducing-equivalent disposal and intracellular NADH/NAD ratio were important effectors of branched-chain amino acid fermentation.
