What is Isolation and Identification of Mixed Linked β ‐Glucan Degrading Bacteria in the Intestine of Broiler Chickens and Partial Characterization of Respective 1,3‐1,4‐ β ‐Glucanase Activities about?

## Abstract Media with 1,3‐1,4‐__β__ ‐glucans as selective markers were used for isolation of non‐starch‐polysaccharide (NSP) degrading bacteria from the intestinal tract of broiler chicken. Formerly unknown 1,3‐1,4‐__β__ endoglucanase activities in various bacterial species were identified in this study. __E. faecium__ , __Streptococcus__ , __Bacteroides__ and __Clostridium__ strains seem to be responsible for degradation of mixed linked __β__ ‐glucans in the small intestine and in the hind gut of chickens. Strict anaerobic bacteria (__Bacteroides ovatus__ , __B. uniformis__ , presumably __B. capillosus__ and __Clostridium perfringens__ ) as well as an unidentified bacterium with 98% 16S rDNA homology to an uncultered chicken cecum bacterium were isolated. Additionally, __Streptococcus bovis__ with 1,3‐1,4‐__β__ ‐endoglucanase activity was also detected. Different 1,3‐1,4‐__β__ ‐endoglucanase activity profiles were observed in SDS/PAGE zymograms.
