Esterase activities in Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens strains [PDF]
Thirty strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens isolated in diverse geographical locations were examined for esterase activity by using naphthyl esters of acetate, butyrate, caprylate, laurate, and palmitate. All strains possessed some esterase activity, and high levels of activity were observed with strains 49, H17c, S2, AcTF2, and LM8/1B.

Enzymology of butyrate formation by Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens [PDF]
Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens is a major butyrate-forming species in the bovine and ovine rumen. The enzymology of butyrate formation from pyruvate was investigated in cell-free extracts of B. fibrisolvens D1. Pyruvate owas oxidized to acetylcoenzyme A (CoA) in the presence of CoA.SH and benzyl viologen or flavin nucleotides.

Oxaloacetate Synthesis in Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (adenosine 5′-triphosphate) was the only enzyme capable of carboxylating pyruvate or phosphoenolpyruvate that could be demonstrated in sonicated cells or cell-free extracts of a group 1 butyrivibrio.

Isolation of Lipoteichoic Acids from Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens [PDF]
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and deacylated lipoteichoic acid have been isolated from the bovine-rumen Gram-negative anaerobe Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens by phenol extraction. Lipoteichoic acid (21.8 mumol phosphorus/g cells) consisted of a conventional 1, 3-phosphodiester-linked chain of glycerol phosphate units joined covalently to a glycolipid.

The Role of Carbonate in the Metabolism of Glucose by Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens [PDF]
The amount of Na2CO3 added to semi-synthetic medium determined the length of the lag phase, the growth rate and the dry weight of three strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens (WV1, NOR37, B835). With increasing CO3(2-) concentration the molar growth yield of bacteria, from glucosewas increased and, of the fermentation products, formate increased more ...

Ultrastructure of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens: a gram-positive bacterium [PDF]
The cells of bacteria of the genus Butyrivibrio are universally described as being gram negative, and they produce an unequivocal gram-negative reaction in the standard staining procedure. However, their cell walls contain derivatives of teichoic acid, which are characteristic of gram-positive cells.
