| Abstract | Tannin-degrading bacteria (TDGB) were isolated from the rumen of goats fed oak leaves containing diet. The isolates were screened for their ability to increase in vitro digestibility of oak leaves (Quercus semicarpifolia), and fifteen best isolates were selected for further characterisation. The isolates TDGB 19, 20, 406, 415, 417, 420, 425, 437, 446, and 450 were Gram-positive cocci with medium- and long-chains, and isolates TDGB 409, 428, 430, and 433 were Gram-positive cocco-bacilli of short chain length. All the isolates exhibited tannase activity with the maximum in TDGB 417 (72.0 units; nmol methyl gallate degraded/min/ml) and minimum in TDGB 433 (28.92 units). All the fifteen isolates utilized fructose, galactose, lactose, starch, maltose, glycerol, and mannose as carbon source. The isolates were tested for their tolerance to phenolic monomers like ferulic acid, vanillic acid, coumaric acid, pyrogallol acid, and gallic acid. All the isolates could tolerate the presence of pyrogallol and gallic acid up to 20 mM, but ferulic was toxic at 20 mM level for all the isolates. The isolates were able to degrade tannic acid to pyrogallol except isolates TDGB 409, 428, 430, and 433, which could degrade tannic acid only up to gallic acid after 24 h of incubation as assessed by thin-layer chromatography. None of the isolates degraded tannic acid to resorcinol even after 96 h of incubation. The phylogenetic analysis of the isolates using sequences of PCR amplicons generated by the three sets of primers, two primers sets targeting 16S rRNA gene and one targeting sodA gene for superoxide dismutase enzyme, revealed that the isolates TDGB 7, 19, 20, 406, 417, 446, and 450 formed a close cluster with Streptococcus gallolyticus with 99 to 100 % similarity in all the three phylogenetic trees. There was a maximum of 11 % improvement in vitro true degradability of tannin-rich feed in the presence of live culture of TDGB 406 and can be exploited as a probiotic to improve nutrient utilization of tannin-containing feed given to the livestock. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
