Effect of sodium monensin and cinnamaldehyde on the growth and phenotypic characteristics of Prevotella bryantii and Prevotella ruminicola.

Abstract excerpt

Two representative strains of Gram-negative rumen bacteria from the genus Prevotella were used as model organisms in order to evaluate the effect of cinnamaldehyde (the secondary metabolite found in extracts of the Cinnamomum family) vs. sodium monensin on growth, cell size and cell protein production. Prevotella bryantii B(1)4 was found to be remarkably more resistant to the action of both compounds than...
