Abstract
Sainfoin leaf condensed tannins inhibited growth and protease activity in Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens A38 and Streptococcus bovis 45S1 but had little effect on Prevotella ruminicola B(1)4 or Ruminobacter amylophi lus WP225. Tannins bound to cell coat polymers in all strains. Morphol ogical changes in B. fibrisolvens and S. bovis implicated the cell wal l as a target of tannin toxicity.
