Mixed rumen bacteria, isolated by centrifugation from the rumen of steers fed a roughage (R) or concentrate (C) diet, were used to determine if lectins are present on rumen bacteria, based on hemagglutination (HA) and HA inhibition assays in vitro. Rumen bacteria from steers fed either diet agglutinated erythrocytes from cattle, sheep, pigs, and rats, suggested that lectins exist on rumen bacteria. Bacterial HA titers from steers receiving the R diet were much higher (p&lt;0.001) than those from steers fed the C diet, depending on the erythrocyte source used. Centrifugation at 20,000xg for 30 min fractionated the rumen bacteria into upper (U) and lower (L) layers. The HA titers of the U bacterial fractions were significantly higher (p&lt;0.001) than those of the L fractions. A remarkable reduction or complete disappearance of HA titers following treatment of rumen bacteria with protease, trypsin, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium periodate indicates that rumen bacterial lectins are probably glycoproteins. Lectin specificity for saccharides (galactose, lactose, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, methyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside and methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside) and glycoproteins (mucin, fetuin, and thyroglobulin) was found in the RU, RL, and CU bacterial fractions; no specific binding was determined in the CL fractions. The potential role of lectins in mediating the attachment of rumen bacteria to feed particles, rumen epithelia and other microorganisms is discussed.

Evidence for existence of lectins on the ruminal bacteria from steers fed roughage and concentrate diets.
