The resurgence of cultivation in studying microorganisms has complemented insights from metagenomic studies by providing material to test metabolic hypotheses that were previously only partially described and quantified. Cultivation of intestinal bacteria provides material to sustain future research on microbial-host interactions, facilitate targeted colonization studies, and improve molecular interaction studies1,2,3. The knowledge gained about gastrointestinal microorganisms has improved animal nutrition and welfare by influencing diet formulations and enhancing nutrient availability4. This understanding has contributed to performance improvements in utilizing prebiotic and probiotic interaction. However, in-depth research is required to gain a complete understanding of how biochemical and physicochemical conditions interact and impact the microbial profile and its structure. To achieve this objective, cultivation remains imperative, serving as a crucial tool to delve into the intricate dynamics of microbial communities within the gastrointestinal environment.
In contrast to the extensive research on microbes associated with the human gut and clinical cultivation studies5, reports on microorganisms from livestock have predominantly utilized a limited range of media for isolation, potentially constraining the diversity of isolates2,3. Furthermore, improvements in the formulation of media and studies on the interaction of phosphate and salts with agar, as elucidated by Tanaka et al. and Kawasaki et al., have not yet been implemented for gut-microbiome studies6,7,8,9.
Considered a semi-essential substance, myo-inositol (MI) has been reported to play a pivotal role in diverse metabolic, physiological, and regulatory processes10,11. These include involvement in bone mineralization, breast muscle development, cellular signaling, promotion of ovulation and fertility, modulation of neuronal signaling, and acting as a regulator of glucose homeostasis and insulin regulation in poultry10,11. MI plays a role as a precursor through its interconversion within pivotal biochemical processes, including the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis process, the citric acid cycle, and the pentose phosphate pathway. Additionally, it also serves as a precursor of phosphatidylinositol (PI), which is further involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism12. Few investigations have reported that the metabolization of MI leads to alterations in bone stability and animal performance. This includes enhancements in feed conversion rate and body weight gain, demonstrating its impact after absorption and utilization within the animal13,14. However, the pathway for MI metabolization and its impact on poultry metabolism remains elusive15. Furthermore, few studies propose a potential role of bacteria in MI utilization, particularly in regions of high metabolic activity such as the ileum16,17,18,19.
Efforts on cultivating bacteria from the GIT of animals aim to enhance genomic databases and expand research, verify genome-based hypothesis, and understand the ecological importance of these resources20. The objective of this work is to improve strategies for bacterial cultivation from the GIT of chicken to enhance the isolation diversity and the targeted isolation of an ecological group of interest that assimilate and metabolize myo-inositol.

닭의 위장관에서 혐기성 박테리아의 배양을 강화하기 위한 전략

We aim to isolate and cultivate bacteria from the intestine of chickens to improve our knowledge of microbial networks and interactions with the host. The characterization of these anaerobic bacteria supports the knowledge of intestinal processes and enrich bacteria databases for future research. One of the main challenges is the prevention of oxygen exposition and oxygen-reactive species along the sampling and cultivation process to prevent bacterial inactivation.To our experience, this has improved the diversity recovery of anaerobic bacteria. Our protocol addresses the gap in understanding myo-inositol metabolism in poultry. By isolating potential myo-inositol-metabolizing bacteria from chicken intestine, our goal is to shed light on the specific bacterial community and metabolic pathways involved, advancing knowledge in this area.Our primary goal is understanding how microbial communities interact with a host, especially in the gut. This is where diet is broken down, nutrients are absorbed, and significant interactions occurs with these microorganisms.

Strategies to Enhance Cultivation of Anaerobic Bacteria from Gastrointestinal Tract of Chicken

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of chicken is a complex ecosystem harboring trillions of microbes that play a pivotal role in the host&#39;s physiology, digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system maturation, and prevention of pathogen intrusion. For optimal animal health and productivity, it is imperative to characterize these microorganisms and comprehend their role. While the GIT of poultry holds a reservoir of microorganisms with potential probiotic applications, most of the diversity remains unexplored. To enhance our understanding of uncultured microbial diversity, concerted efforts are required to bring these microorganisms into culture. Isolation and cultivation of GIT-colonizing microorganisms yield reproducible material, including cells, DNA, and metabolites, offering new insights into metabolic processes in the environment. Without cultivation, the role of these organisms in their natural settings remains unclear and limited to a descriptive level. Our objective is to implement cultivation strategies aimed at improving the isolation of a diverse range of anaerobic microbes from the chicken&#39;s GIT, leveraging multidisciplinary knowledge from animal physiology, animal nutrition, metagenomics, feed biochemistry, and modern cultivation strategies. Additionally, we aim to implement the use of proper practices for sampling, transportation, and media preparation, which are known to influence isolation success. Appropriate methodologies should ensure a consistent oxygen-free environment, optimal atmospheric conditions, appropriate host incubation temperature, and provision for specific nutritional requirements in alignment with their distinctive needs. By following these methodologies, cultivation will not only yield reproducible results for isolation but will also facilitate isolation procedures, thus fostering a comprehensive understanding of the intricate microbial ecosystem within the chicken&#39;s GIT.

The protocol presents two methodologies to improve the isolation of anaerobic intestinal bacteria. The first focuses on the isolation of a diverse range of bacteria using different culture media. The second focuses on the cultivation steps of a specific microbial group, possibly assimilating myo-inositol, to fully comprehend its ecological significance.
