Abstract:
A transconjugant Ruminococcus albus A3 culture was released into a goat rumen, and the extent of its survival in the rumen microcosm was measured by distinguishing this bacterium from indigenous microbes by antibiotic resistance. A3 cells remained roughly constant for 14 days in this goat rumen.
