Objective: This study was determined the influence of virginiamycin supplementation on growth-performance and characteristics of digestion of cattle with decreasing dietary net energy value of the diet for maintenance ($NE_m$) from 2.22 to 2.10 Mcal/kg. Methods: Eighty crossbred beef steers ($298.2{\pm}6.3kg$) were used in a 152-d performance evaluation consisting of a 28-d adaptation period followed by a 124-d growing-finishing period. During the 124-d period steers were fed either a lesser energy dense (LED, $2.10Mcal/kg\;NE_m$) or higher energy dense (HED, $2.22Mcal/kg\;NE_m$) diet. Diets were fed with or without 28 mg/kg (dry matter [DM] basis) virginiamycin in a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement. Four Holstein steers ($170.4{\pm}5.6kg$) with cannulas in the rumen (3.8 cm internal diameter) and proximal duodenum were used in $4{\times}4$ Latin square experiment to study treatment effects on characteristics of digestion. Results: Neither diet energy density nor virginiamycin affected average daily gain (p>0.10). As expected, dry matter intake and gain efficiency were greater (p<0.01) for LED- than for HED-fed steers. Virginiamycin did not affect estimated net energy value of the LED diet. Virginiamycin increased estimated NE of the HED diet. During daylight hours when the temperature humidity index averaged $81.3{\pm}2.7$, virginiamycin decreased (p<0.05) ruminal temperature. Virginiamycin did not influence (p>0.10) ruminal or total tract digestion. Ruminal (p = 0.02) and total tract digestion (p<0.01) of organic matter, and digestible energy (p<0.01) were greater for HED vs LED. Ruminal microbial efficiency was lower (p<0.01) for HED vs LED diets. Conclusion: The positive effect of virginiamycin on growth performance of cattle is due to increased efficiency of energy utilization, as effects of virginiamycin on characteristics of digestion were not appreciable. Under conditions of high ambient temperature virginiamycin may reduce body temperature.

Virginiamycin(VM) 생산 유도에 관여하는 virginiae butanolide C(VB-C)및 receptor의 기능을 명확히 규명하기 위해 S. virginiae로부터 NTG및 hydroxylamine 처리를 통해 두 개의 변이주를 분리하였으며, VM을 생산하는 균중에서 VB, receptor를 모두 생산하지 않는 S. ostreogriseus와, receptor는 생산하나 VB를 생산하지 않는 S. graminofaciens를 대상으로 하여 유도능의 관계를 검토하였다. 분리한 S. virginiae mutant N-25와 H-05는 VB가 receptor보다 먼저 생산되는 특성을 나타내었으며, VM 생산시기가 현저히 지연되었다. 이는 S. virginiae 모균주에서 receptor가 생사노디기 이전에 합성 VB-C를 첨가하였을 때 VM 생산이 억제되는 것과 같은 현상인것으로 판단되었다. 한편, VM 생산균인 S. ostreogriseus 및 S. graminofaciens는 모두 VB를 생산하지 않으며 합성 VB-C 첨가에 의한 유도능을 검토한 결과, receptor를 생산하지 않는 S. ostreogriseus의 경우 VM 생산이 억제되는 반면, receptor를 생산하는 S. graminofaciens의 경우에는 VM 생산이 촉진되었다. 이들 결과에서 볼 때, VM 생산 촉진에 VB가 필수적이며 VB의 신호전달에 따른 VM 생산 촉진 효과는 반드시 receptor의 존재하에서 일어난다고 사료되었다. S. graminofaciens의 경우 합성 VB-C 첨가에 의해 생산된 하생물질을 HPLC를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 항생물질 생산량이 증가하였으며, 새로운 항생물질 생상 유도도 가능한 것으로 시사되었다.

Virginiae butanolide C(VB-C) is one of the butyrolactone autoregulators, which triggers the productin of virginiamycin in Streptomyces virginiae. To further understand the mechanism of virginiamycin induction, we isolated three mutants from S. virginiae by N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) treatment. The characteristics of the three mutants were confirmed as follows: the mutant No. 1 delayed the production of the VB-C, receptor and antibiotics; the mutant No.3 hyperproduced receptor; the mutant No.4 failed to produce the VB-C. The addition of synthetic VB-C couldn't induce the production of antibiotics in the mutant No.1 due to delayed production of receptor, could provoke the production of larger amount of antibiotics than parental wild type strain in the mutant No.3 due to the presence of large amount of receptor, and could induce production of very small amount of antibiotics in the mutant No.4 due to the absence of VB-C. Antimicrobial spectrum and HPLC analysis of the mutant No.1 and No.3 suggested that the VB-C might have a specific ability to induce the production of virginiamycin M and S. These results imply that the VB-C has an ability to trigger the production of virginiamycin under receptor existence in S. virginiae.

Streptomyces virginiae 유래의 virginiamycin 생합성 유도인자인 VB-C를 이용하여 다른 방선균에의 항생물질 생산 유도 기능을 검토하였다. Erythromycin 생산균인 Streptomyces erythraeus를 공시균주로 사용하였으며, VB-C 결합 receptor 유전자가 포함된 plasmid(pARS 701, 9 kb)를 공시균주에 도입하여 transformant로 사용하였다. Parent와 transformant 모두 유도인자인 VB류를 생산하였으며, VB-C의 signal 전달에 관여하는 결합 단백질의 존재가 확인되었다. Parent는 본배양 0, 20, 44시간째에 합성 VB-C 300 ng/ml를 첨가시 초기 항생물질 생산시기가 약 8시간 이상 단축되었다. Transformant는 본배양 44시간에 첨가시 6시간 이상 항생물질 생산시기가 단축되었고 항생물질 생산량도 증가되었으며, parent에 비해 B. subtilis에도 강한 항균력을 나타내었다. 또한 항균 spectrum은 parent보다는 transformant가 생산한 항생물질의 항균호과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, VB-C를 첨가한 경우 미첨가 경우보다 넓은 항균 spectrum을 보였다. 이들 결과에서 공시균인 S. erythraeus에서 VB signal 전달에 따른 항생물질 생산유도가 입증되었으며, VB-C receptor gene의 도입에 따른 발현과 함께 VBs의 유도, 항생물질의 생산시기의 단축 및 생산량의 증가가 예상됨에 따라 다양한 Streptomyces sp. 균주를 대상으로 항생물질의 대량생산을 비롯한 새로운 2차 대사산물 생산에의 응용이 예상되었다.

Virginiae butanolide C(VB-C) is one of the butyrolactone autoregulators, which triggers the production of virginiamycin in Streptomyces virginiae. Streptomyces longwoodensis was selected as a test strain to investigate new VB-C functions. When 100 ng/ml of the synthetic VB-C was added into the culture at 5 hour and 0 hour, the initial production time of antibiotics and a dark blue pigment were shortened by 4~6 hours and 2~4 hours, respectively. HPLC analysis revealed the production of several new antibiotics by VB-C addition. In the SDS-PAGE analysis of the total protein from mycelium several new protein bands showed up and the amounts of certain protein bands increased in the presense of VB-C. The existence of specific VB-C binding protein was confirmed from S. longwoodensis in relation to VB-C signal transduction. These results suggest that the VB-C might have an ability to induce the production of secondary metabolites in Streptomy- ces longwoodensis.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding two strains of Lactobacillus and virginiamycin on performance, nutrients digestibility and intestinal microflora of broiler chicks(Abor acres$\times$Abor Acres) were randomly allocated into six treatments with four replications for five weeks. Control(no supplement), 0.05% virginiamycin(VM), Lactobacillus crispatus avibro1(LC), Lactobacillus reuteri avibro2(LR), LC+0.05% VM(LC+VM), LR+0.05% VM(LR+VM) were supplemented into basal diets, which contained ME 3,100kcal/kg and CP 22.0, 20.0% for starting and finishing period, respectively. Weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion(FC) were weekly measured. Nutrients digestibility, intestinal microflora and fecal noxious gas were examined at the end of experiment. Weight gains of chicks fed Lactobacillus or VM was significantly higher than control(P〈0.05). Feed intake increased significantly in those supplemental groups(P〈0.05). FC of chicks fed Lactobacillus or VM significantly lower than control(P〈0.05). Degestibility of crude protein, calcium, and phosphorus improved significantly in alone or combined Lactobacillus treatments(P〈0.05). Whereas DM, crude fat and ash digestibility were not statistically different. Feeding Lactobacilli tended to increase the total Lactobacillus spp. in ileum at one and three weeks of age(WOA) and showed significantly higher in cecum than control at 5 WOA. Total yeast were not shown difference at 1 and 3 WOA, but significantly increased at 5 WOA(P〈0.05). The ileal and cecal anaerobes were started to increase from the first WOA. Fecal NH$_3$gas tended to decrease in Lactobacillus treatments compared to that of other treatments.

The object of this study was to determine the influence of monensin and virginiamycin (VM) on in vitro ruminal fermentation of rice straw or ammoniated rice straw. Rumen fluid was collected from 4 wethers fed 200 g of concentrate supplement with 400 g of untreated (U) or ammoniated (A) rice straw once daily for 28 days. Mixed ruminal microorganisms were incubated in anaerobic media that contained 20% (vol/vol) ruminal fluid and 0.3 g of either U or A rice straw. Monensin and/or VM, dissolved in ethanol, were added in centrifuge tubes at final concentrations of 0, 15, 30, 15+15 and 30+30 ppm of culture fluid. The addition of monensin and VM combination to A rice straw fermentation decreased (p<0.05) the acetate to propionate ratio, total VFA and lactate production, but increased (p<0.05) pH. Total gas production tended to be decreased by the addition of monensin plus VM. Antimicrobial agents decreased $NH_3$ N concentration and dry matter digestibility.

Two bio-assays were conducted to evaluate turmeric root powder and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) as alternatives to feed antibiotics for broilers. In one trial, one hundred and eighty 19-days old broilers assigned to 18 groups of 10 were fed on one of six experimental diets with three replicates during four weeks. The diets included a basal feed without additives and with either virginiamycin, MOS, or turmeric at 1, 2 and 3 g/kg, respectively. In the second trial, one hundred and forty four 21-days old broilers arranged in 16 groups of nine were fed on the first four diets with four replicates for a similar period. Virginiamycin, MOS and turmeric (1 g/kg) in the first trial generally improved the weight gain of broilers by 3.4, 6.2 and 5.3%, respectively. In the second trial they increased the weight gain significantly (p<0.05) by 8.8, 8.0 and 15.1%, respectively. Additives improved the feed efficiency up to 15.1% and carcass recovery up to 3.1% (p<0.05). Virginiamycin, MOS and turmeric (1 g/kg) markedly reduced the abdominal fat content from 1.91% BW in the control to 1.44, 0.97 and 1.2% BW, respectively, in the first trial. The corresponding values obtained in the second trial were 1.01, 0.55 and 0.6%, respectively as compared to 1.22% in the control group. All additives showed a remarkable inhibition of duodenal coliform bacteria, yeast and mould in the caecum, and all viable microbes in the ileum. A significant (p<0.05) improvement in energy and protein utilization could be recorded with supplemented diets except for high turmeric diets. Dietary 2 and 3 g/kg addition of turmeric reduced energy and protein utilization as well as fat deposition. Present results reveal that turmeric and MOS are satisfactory alternatives to antibiotics in broiler feeds. Both MOS and turmeric possess an antimicrobial effect in vivo. Turmeric may also depress fat deposition in broilers.
