Abstract
Growth of the ruminal bacteria Fibrobacter succinogenes S85, Ruminococ cus flavefaciens FD-1, and R. albus 7 followed Monod kinetics with res pect to concentrations of individual pure cellodextrins (cellobiose, c ellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentaose, and cellohexaose). Under the conditions tested, R. flavefaciens FD-1 possesses the greatest capaci ty to compete for low concentrations of these cellodextrins.
