The most recent advances in the molecular biology, physiology and ecology of the rumen bacteria, protozoa and anaerobic fungi are placed in context to provide a reference source with over 2000 references cited. Because the rumen is the most extensively and intensively investigated anaerobic ecosystem, this book also serves as a standard reference for much of our knowledge of anaerobic micro-organisms, whether they occur in the caecum and colon of herbivores or man, or in other natural or man-made anaerobic environments such as muds or waste-treatment plants. This is a reference source for researchers in rumen and intestinal microbiology, ruminant nutrition and gut microbiology, (animal and human) as well as agricultural microbiologists and microbial ecologists.
