The aquaculture industry is in need of sustainable fish feed to reduce the use expensive and environmentally invasive wild-caught currently fed many carnivorous species. black soldier fly (BSF) has become a popular alternative protein source; however, nutritional waste byproduct BSF, frass, not been extensively studied as replacement This study evaluates potential BSF frass on growth, body composition, intestinal microbiome Florida pompano, Trachinotus carolinus. Four experimental diets were...
Abstract RNase P is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) that catalyzes removal of the 5′ leader from precursor tRNAs in all domains life. A recent cryo-EM study Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (Mja) produced model at 4.6-Å resolution dimeric configuration, with each holoenzyme monomer containing one RNA (RPR) and copy five proteins (RPPs; POP5, RPP30, RPP21, RPP29, L7Ae). Here, we used native mass spectrometry (MS), photometry (MP), biochemical experiments (i) validate oligomeric state Mja vitro, (ii)...
Storing manure is an essential aspect of nutrient management on dairy farms. It presents the opportunity to use efficiently as a fertilizer in crop and pasture production. Typically, storages are constructed earthen, concrete, or steel-based structures. However, storing can potentially emit aerial pollutants atmosphere, including nitrogen greenhouse gases, through microbial physicochemical processes. We have characterized composition microbiome two storage structures, clay-lined earthen pit...
Tall fescue KY-31 is an important primary forage for beef cattle. It carries a fungal endophyte that produces ergovaline, the main cause of tall toxicosis leads to major revenue loss livestock producers. The MaxQ, engineered cultivar, hosts ergovaline nonproducing strain fungus and consequently nontoxic. However, it less attractive economically. not known how rumen microbiome processes these two forages towards nutrient generation transformation. We have analysed compositions cattle grazed...
Abstract Tall fescue KY-31 feeds ~20% of the beef cattle in United States. It carries a fungal endophyte that produces ergovaline, which causes toxicosis cattle, leading to $2 billion revenue loss annually. The MaxQ cultivar grass is non-toxic, but less attractive economically. To develop ways mitigating toxicity, rumen microbiome consuming and have been analyzed, principally for identifying ergovaline transforming microorganisms often using fecal as surrogate. We hypothesized not only...
Abstract Storing manure is an essential aspect of nutrient management on dairy farms, presenting the opportunity to use it effectively as a fertilizer in crop and pasture production. The storage structures are earthen, concrete, or steel-based constructs. However, this practice presents potential losing nitrogen (fertilizer value) emitting greenhouse gases (environmental stressors) atmosphere through microbial physicochemical processes. We have conducted study characterize relevant processes...
