Propionibacterium ruminifibrarum
Description and Significance
P. ruminifibrarum is rod-shaped and found in the skin of animals and humans. P. ruminifibrarum is specifically found in the rumen of a Holstein Friesian dairy cow. P. ruminifibrarum is important because it is a novel species found within Propionibacterium, that metabolizes differently than other Propionibacterium species.
Genome Structure
The DNA G+C content of the type strain is 68.9 mol%. Cells are present in single cells and in clusters. Against P. australiense, the average genome wide nucleotide identity was 88.3% and 35.5% digital DNA-DNA hybridization.
