Question
Chapter 15.21, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
The phyla Fusobacteria, Synergistetes, and Fibrobacteres contain comparatively few characterized species. Species in these groups are frequently related to the human disease and the gastrointestinal tracts of the animals. The phyla Fusobacteria, Synergistetes, and Fibrobacteres are capable of fermenting carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins.
