SUMMARY Different types of media containing xylan were used to culture bacteria from the sheep rumen. The results suggest that facultatively anaerobic bacteria are not active in the ruminal fermentation of xylans. Gram‐negative curved rods were the predominant bacteria growing in all anaerobic cultures under CO 2 and those isolated were similar to Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens. The properties of two types of xylan fermenting bacteria are given.
