Isolation and characterization of tannin-degrading bacteria from faecal samples of some wild ruminants in Ethiopia

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize bacteria capable of hydrolysing tannins from the faeces of Ethiopian ruminants adapted to feed on tannin-rich leaves. Faecal samples were collected from dikdik (Madoqua guentheri), camel (Camelus dromedaries), Grant's gazelle (Gazella granti), ze...
