<P><B><I>Ruminococcus albus</I> 7</B>. <I>Ruminococcus albus</I> 7 is a common rumen bacterium. This organism is able to degrade cellulose and also produces an antimicrobial compound that prevents the growth of <I>Ruminococcus flavefaciens</I>. This genome will be used for comparative analysis with other rumen bacterium.
