Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

Creator:

Rattray, Rogan MacKay

Abstract:

There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...
