From: Biochemical and genetic diversity of carbohydrate-fermenting and obligate amino acid-fermenting hyper-ammonia-producing bacteria from Nellore steers fed tropical forages and supplemented with casein

Figure 2

Specific activity of deamination (A) and ammonia concentration (NH 3 ) (B) of hyper-ammonia-producing bacteria (HAB) isolated from Nellore steers. The isolates were grown on mineral medium containing 15 g l−1 trypticase. Control = deamination activity of HAB isolates obtained from animals without casein supplementation (n = 14); supplemented = deamination activity of HAB isolates obtained from animals supplemented with daily infusions of casein (n = 16). (*) indicates significance at 5% probability by the Tukey test.
