Macy Department of Animal Science University of California 95616 Davis CA USA Abstract The anaerobic and aerobic bacterial flora from the spiral intestine of hatchery-raised sturgeon were enumerated. Among the obligate anaerobes, a new bacteroidelike organism was isolated and found to be the predominant strict anaerobe. The organism is Gram-negative, produces the fermentation products acetate, succinate, propionate and H 2 . The mol % G+C of DNA from various strains ranged from 33.17–33.65.
