Abstract
Goldberg, Herbert S. (University of Missouri, Columbia), Ella M. Barnes, and Anthony B. Charles. Unusual Bacteroides-like organism. J. Bacteriol. 87:737–742. 1964.—An organism is described which appears to be a new species of gram-negative, anaerobic, nonsporulating rod. It was isolated from poultry caeca at levels of 107 to 108 per g. It is primarily distinguished from related organisms by its unusual size (2.0 by 10.0 μ). It is biochemically differentiated from known species of Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Sphaerophorous, and other accepted related genera. Its presence in large numbers in the gut of poultry, and its high metabolic activity would seem to indicate an important intestinal organism.
