Abstract excerpt
The rumen contents of red deer (Cervus elaphus) were used to isolate bacterial capable of fermenting glycerol. The biochemistry, physiology, morphology and phylogeny of one isolate were studied in detail. The isolate (DR3) was tentatively identified as a strain of the species Klebsiella planticola as based on phenotypic characterization. The data obtained from 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed that the deer rumen...
