Anaerobic digesters contain a wide variety of anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria. Many of these are sporing rods. Some isolates from a mesophilic cattle waste anaerobic digester were classified as Sporolactobacillus spp. A further group of bacteria could not be induced to sporulate. In some respects they resembled Eubacterium , but considering all the properties it is suggested that they should be classified as a species of Clostridium.
