Abstract
An organism which ferments the dextran of Streptococcus bovis was isolated from the rumen of cows on a diet of fresh clover. The bacterium is a strictly anaerobic Gram-positive, non-sporing, branching rod that closely resembles Lactobacillus bifidus. It is of interest from the point of view of the metabolism of dextran in the rumen.Keywords
