Abstract
A sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated in pure culture from sheep rumen contents. Its properties agree in all respects tested with those ascribed to D. desulfuricans. The populations observed (about 108/ml) are sufficient to account for published rates of ruminal sulfide production.Keywords
