The carbon dioxide requirement of 32 strains of rumen bacteria, representing 11 different species, was studied in detail. Increasing concentrations of CO2were added as NaHCO3to a specially prepared CO2-free medium which was tubed and inoculated under nitrogen. Prior depletion of CO2in the inoculum was found to affect the level of requirement; however, the complexity and buffering capacity of the medium did not appear to be involved. An absolute requirement for CO2was observed for eight strains ofBacteroides ruminicola, three strains ofBacteroides succinogenes, four strains ofRuminococcus flavefaciens, two strains ofLachnospira multiparus, one strain ofSuccinimonas amylolytica, and two strains ofButyrivibrio fibrisolvens. Inconsistent growth responses were obtained in CO2-free media with one strain each ofB. fibrisolvens, Ruminococcus albus, andSelenomonas ruminantium. Growth of six additional strains ofB. fibrisolvens, and single strains ofEubacterium ruminantiumandSuccinivibrio dextrinosolvenswas markedly increased or stimulated by increasing concentrations of CO2.Peptostreptococcus elsdeniiB159 was the only organism tested which appeared to have no requirement, either absolute or partial, for CO2. Higher concentrations of CO2were required for the initiation of growth, as well as for optimal growth, by those species which produce succinic acid as one of their primary end products.
