“…Also the pattern of the cellular fatty acid composition of the organism was quite similar to that of B. thermophilum and S. bovis. Moreover, it has been reported that B, fibrisolvens is similar to the grampositive bacteria in having lipoteichoic acid (18) and glycerol teichoic acid (19), and in ultrastructural features (20). These findings support the opinion that B. fibrisolvens is a gram-positive bacterium.…”

“…Four of the 12 isolates reduced nitrate, and 1 was urease positive. Although B. fibrisolvens cells have walls similar to those of gram-positive organisms (24), cells are gram negative when stained by standard procedures and they are considered as gram-negative organisms here. The remaining groups of gram-negative rods, F. prausnitzii, Fusobacterium necrophorum, and Leptotrichia buccalis, were minor constituents of the total cecal flora.…”

One hundred ninety-two isolates from cecal contents of three normal weaned pigs were obtained by means of anaerobic roll tube methods and were characterized. Seventy-eight percent of the isolates were gram-negative. The most numerous species isolated from each of the pigs was Bacteroides ruminicola. This species accounted for 35% of the isolates that were characterized, and Selenomonas ruminantium accounted for 21% of the isolates. Other gram-negative bacteria isolated from all three pigs were Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens (6.0%) and Bacteroides uniformis (3.0%); predominant gram-positive isolates were Lactobacillus acidophilus (7.6%), Peptostreptococcus productus (3.0%), and Eubacterium aerofaciens (2.5%). The other 42 isolates were placed in 14 other species, and 5 additional isolates that did not fit well into existing species were not placed taxonomically. Fifteen of the isolates (representing nine species) produced urease.

“…They are generally found in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of most gram-negative bacteria (24). It has been reported that But yrivibrio fcbrisolvens seems to be a gram-positive bacterium as indicated by the presence of lipoteichoic acid (25), a glycerol teichoic acid (26), and by interpretation of ultrastructure investigation (27). The absence of hydroxy fatty acid of the tested bacteria is considered to support this observation.…”

The genera of sixty-three bacterial strains isolated from bovine rumen contents were determined according to the identification schemes of Hungate, and Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (8th Ed.). Then, the cellular fatty acid and aldehyde composition of all these organisms was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and mass fragmentography. The distinctive features of these organisms were presented. Succinivibrio contained 18: 1 (w-7), 16: 0, 14:0,16: 1, and 3-OH-14: 0 as the most abundant fatty acids. Lachnospira contained 18: 0, 16: 0, and 18: 1 (w-7) as the most abundant acids. Anteiso-l5: 0 and 15: 0 were the most abundant acids in Bacteroides. Iso-16: 0, anteiso-17: 0, 16: 0, and 18: 0 were the most abundant acids in an unidentified gram-negative obligately anaerobic rod. The Butyrivibrio strains were divided into two major groups based on fatty acid and fatty aldehyde composition. One group contained branched-chain fatty acids and fatty aldehydes as major components, and the other had straight-chain ones. The former group contained anteiso-15: 0 fatty acid (FA) and anteiso-15: 0 aldehyde (ALD) as major components. In the latter group, a considerable variation was found in the relative amount of each fatty acid and fatty aldehyde. The major fatty components in Selenomonas were 16:1 FA, 14: 0 FA, 3-OH-14: 0 FA, and 16: 1 ALD. Lactobacillus contained 16: 0 FA, 16: 0 ALD, 16: 1 ALD, and 16: 1 FA as major components, and in Bifidobacterium they were 18: 1 (w-9) FA, 16: 0 FA, 14: 0 FA, and 18: 1 ALD. The major fatty acids of Propionibacterium were iso-15:0,16: 0, and iso-17: 0, and those of unidentified gram-positive chainforming anaerobic coccus were anteiso-15: 0 and anteiso-17: 0. Each of the nine different kinds of bacteria mentioned above, but not Butyrivibrio, formed a single dendrogram cluster according to their fatty acid and fatty aldehyde composition. The Butyrivibrio species were divided into three clusters.
