RESUMO

Mixtures of ruminal bacteria degraded benzo(b)thien-4-yl methylcarbamate (Mobam) to 4-hydroxybenzothiophene, CO2, and polar product(s). The metabolite, 4-hydroxybenzothiophene, was identified (after acetylation) by comparative infrared and mass spectrometry with an authentic sample. Carbon dioxide and polar product(s) were produced by degradation of the methylcarbamate moiety. Ten previously characterized strains of ruminal bacteria with diverse physiological capabilities did not degrade Mobam. However, three tributyrin-hydrolyzing strains were isolated that did degrade Mobam. Mobam inhibited growth of two of ten strains isolated on Mobam-free glycerol-tributyrin enrichment medium. One of these strains was also sensitive to 2-carbomethoxy-propene-2yl dimethyl phosphate (Phosdrin). Mobam prevented some ruminal bacteria from producing zones of hydrolysis in tributyrin emulsion media and inhibited some ruminal bacteria from degrading 1-naphthyl acetate and fluorescein-3′,6′-diacetate.
