Description and Designation of a Neotype Strain of Eubacterium cellulosolvens (Cillobacterium cellulosolvens Bryant, Small, Bouma and Robinson) Holdeman and Moore

Since type strain B348 of Eubacterium cellulosolvens (Cillobacterium cellulosolvens Bryant, Small, Bouma, and Robinson) was lost, we propose that van Gylswyk and Hoffman strain 6 (= ATCC 00000) be designated the neotype strain of this species. The characteristics of the neotype strain are compared with the characteristics of strains described elsewhere and with some of the most important characteristics of strains recently isolated by us from sheep rumina.
