A species of strictly anaerobic, carbohydrate-fermenting, formic- and butyric acid-producing, gram-negative to gram-variable bacteria is described on the basis of 35 isolates from human feces and one isolate from chicken cecal contents. Members of this species produce morphological forms with the appearance of buds. This species cannot be assigned to any known genus, and therefore a new genus, Gernrniger (L. n. gernrna a bud; L. v. gero to bear; M. L. masc. n. gernrniger bud bearer), is proposed with G. forrnicilis n.sp. (M. L. adj. forrnicilis pertaining to formic acid) as the type species. The type strain of this species is Virginia Polytechnic Institute strain X2-56 ( = ATCC 27749). This report describes 35 bacterial isolates of a species that appears to be common in the large intestines of man and chickens. Strains of this species, conforming to the description below, occurred at 8.32 (*1.8 standard deviation) x 109/g (dry weight) of feces of 20 clinically healthy Japanese-Hawaiians and accounted for 1.75% (A 0.39 standard deviation) of the cultivable fecal bacterial flora of this group of people (9). In other studies, bacteria with similar morphol- ogy were a major component in the cecal flora of chicks 2.0 to 6.5 weeks old (1). These morpho- logical forms accounted for a mean of 1% of all bacteria observed microscopically in smears from 47 fecal specimens from North Americans (J. Gossling, Ph.D. dissertation, West Virginia University, Morgantown, 1973). Although bac- teria with this morphology may have included a number of metabolic types, representative iso- lates from British chickens and North American humans were characterized, and they belong to the species described below.
