Abstract
Two strains of Escherichia coli, which together ferment lysine, were isolated from the bovine rumen by use of enrichment culture technic. Their morphol., cultural, and physiological characteristics are descr. Analysis of the end products of fermentation in growing cultures indicates that L-lysine is fermented according to the following equation: CH2(NH2)CHoCH2CH2CH(NH2)COOH + 2HOH = CH3COOH + CH3 CH2CH3COOH +2NH3.Keywords
