Physiological characteristics of 45 strains of anaerobic cocci isolated from the rumen, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum and faeces of pre‐ruminant and ruminating calves and cows were examined. Among these strains were unusually anaerobic strains of Streptococcus bovis , Gram negative cocci resembling Megasphaera elsdenii but not fermenting lactic acid and strains resembling Coprococcus catus. The amino acid composition of the cell wall peptidoglycans of these and strains of anaerobic streptococci was determined.
