The complete genome sequence of Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 reveals a cellulolytic and metabolic specialist.

Fibrobacter succinogenes is an important member of the rumen microbial community that converts plant biomass into nutrients usable by its host. This bacterium, which is also one of only two cultivated species in its phylum, is an efficient and prolific degrader of cellulose. Specifically, it has a p...
