Whose habitat is this? What are their geno-, pheno- and ecotypes? These fervent
questions in gastrointestinal microbiology are still, for the most part, unanswered
when it comes to what decisively influences pig host nutrition and health: the
individual bacterial species of the porcine mucosal gastric and small intestinal
microbiota. Lactic acid-producing bacteria in syntrophism with lactic
acid-fermenting bacteria, i.e. communities of 'lactic acid-related bacteria' (LARB),
constitute the predominant and generally most beneficial part of this microbiota.
The present book gives answers to the aforesaid questions. Outlined in six major
chapters, the book starts off by reviewing the microecology of the pig proximal
gastrointestinal tract as well as the different groups of LARB (chapter II). This
leads over to the methodological chapters III and IV which explain the application
of two newly developed culture-based approaches for isolation of novel species of
manganese catalase-positive lactobacilli and mucin-fermenting LARB. Chapters V and
VI contain the valid taxonomic descriptions of two novel LARB species, namely
Olsenella umbonata Kraatz et al. 2011 and Veillonella magna Kraatz and Taras 2008
from porcine mucosal jejunum. Chapter VIII ends the book with a discussion of the
ecological status, niches and host relationship of O. umbonata and V. magna, thus
taking the reader back to the microecology of chapter II.
