title: A note on the fermentation of pectin by pure strains and combined cultures of rumen bacteria.
abstract: Bacteroides ruminicola, pure or combined with Selenomonas ruminantium, and Lachnospira multiparus, pure or combined with Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens, were grown on a medium with pectin as energy source. There was a difference in fermentation products between the pure and combined cultures and efficiency of substrate utilization was better with the combined cultures.
