'''''Ruminococcus flavefaciens''''' is a species of [[Cellulolysis|cellulolytic]], [[obligate anaerobe|strictly anaerobic]] [[bacterium]] in the genus ''[[Ruminococcus]]''. It is associated with the [[rumen]] of [[cattle]] and other [[ruminant]]s, where it contributes to the degradation of [[plant cell wall|plant cell-wall]] material. ''R. flavefaciens'' is the [[type species]] of the genus ''Ruminococcus''.<ref name="LPSN">{{cite web |title=Species: Ruminococcus flavefaciens |website=List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature |publisher=Leibniz Institute DSMZ |url=https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/ruminococcus-flavefaciens |access-date=6 July 2026}}</ref><br />

== Taxonomy ==<br />
''Ruminococcus flavefaciens'' was first described during work on [[cellulose]]-decomposing bacteria from the rumen of cattle.<ref name="Sijpesteijn1948">{{cite thesis |last1=Sijpesteijn |first1=A.

== Description ==<br />
''R. flavefaciens'' is generally described as a [[Gram-positive bacteria|Gram-positive]], anaerobic rumen bacterium. It is one of the major cultivated cellulolytic bacterial species of the rumen, along with ''[[Fibrobacter succinogenes]]'' and ''[[Ruminococcus albus]]''.<ref name="Yeoman2021">{{cite journal |last1=Yeoman |first1=Carl J. |last2=Fields |first2=Christopher J. |last3=Lepercq |first3=Pascale |last4=Ruiz |first4=Philippe |last5=Forano |first5=Evelyne |last6=White |first6=Bryan A. |last7=Mosoni |first7=Pascale |title=In vivo competitions between Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Ruminococcus albus in a gnotobiotic sheep model revealed by multi-omic analyses |journal=mBio |year=2021 |volume=12 |issue=2 |pages=e03533-20 |doi=10.1128/mBio.03533-20 |doi-access=free|pmc=8092306 }}</ref><br />
