Plant polysaccharide-degrading rumen microbes are fundamental to the health and productivity of ruminant animals. Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus B316(T) is a gram-positive, butyrate-producing anaerobic bacterium with a key role in hemicellulose degradation in the rumen. Gel-based proteomics was used to examine the growth-phase-dependent abundance patterns of secreted proteins recovered from cells grown in vitro with xylan or xylose provided as the sole supplementary carbon source. Five polysaccharidases and two carbohydrate-binding proteins (CBPs) were among 30 identified secreted proteins. The endo-1,4-β-xylanase Xyn10B was 17.5-fold more abundant in the culture medium of xylan-grown cells, which suggests it plays an important role in hemicellulose degradation. The secretion of three nonxylanolytic enzymes and two CBPs implies they augment hemicellulose degradation by hydrolysis or disruption of associated structural polysaccharides. Sixteen ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter substrate-binding proteins were identified, several of which had altered relative abundance levels between growth conditions, which suggests they are important for oligosaccharide uptake. This study demonstrates that B. proteoclasticus modulates the secretion of hemicellulose-degrading enzymes and ATP-dependent sugar uptake systems in response to growth substrate and supports the notion that this organism makes an important contribution to polysaccharide degradation in the rumen.
