Abstract: Three strains of anaerobic bacteria were isolated from the rumen of the Mongolian sheep. The bacterial cellulose degradation detection test showed that all of the bacteria have fiber degradation ability.All of the bacteria were gram-positive bacteria according to the gram stain test.After the physiological and biochemical test, and determination of 16S rDNA gene sequences and the homology analysis,the three strains of bacteria turned out to be Streptococcus bovis,Streptocococcus infantarius and Enterococcus faecium,and were named as E1,E2 and E3,respectively.

Key words: cellulose-degrading bacteria; anaerobic; isolation; identification
