The Prokaryotes

The rumen is a strictly anaerobic ecosystem inhabited mainly by bacteria and ciliated protozoa, plus smaller numbers of fungi. Although several hundred or more species of bacteria can be found in this ecosystem, only about thirty species are usually found at high enough levels to be considered of ecological significance. In the article written for the second edition of The Prokaryotes (Hespell, 1992), the species Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens (Bryant and Small, 1956) and Succinimonas amylolytica (Bryant et al., 1958) were covered in the same chapter because these species are major rumen species that have not been extensively studied. In addition, the species Anaerobiospirillum succiniproducens (Davis et al., 1976) was tentatively included in the chapter by Hespell (1992) since the phylogenetic relationships of Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens, Succinimonas amylolytica and Anaerobiospirillum succiniproducens and to other higher taxa were not known. Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens and Succinim...
