Introduction
Segatella bryantii B14
Segatella bryantii B14 (DSM 11371), formerly Prevotella bryantii, was isolated from rumen contents of a Holstein cow fed alfalfa hay in the USA [1]. It was originally named as Bacteroides ruminicola subsp. brevis and subsequently changed to Prevotella bryantii [2]. The strain was originally designated B14 but B14 is commonly used. B14 has been the focus of many studies and is able to ferment a wide range of carbohydrates [3, 4]. The genes involved in xylan degradation have been characterized [5].
Taxonomic analysis of the genus Prevotella lists B14 as the Segatella bryantii type strain [6]. However, NCBI now records B14 and C21a as belonging to the species Segatella baroniae, although the reason for this is unclear.
Draft genome sequences are available for B14 (3.6 Mb) [7]. Resequencing indicates that Segatella bryantii strains (B14 and C21a) each have two replicons of ~2.5 and ~1.0 Mb. Two other sequenced P. bryantii cultures (TC1-1, TS1-5) have a similar genomic architecture suggesting this is a feature of this species.
The B14 genome encodes a large conjugative transposon [8] although this has not been characterized in detail or shown to be transferable. Based on the presence of a the traG gene (TIGR03783) large conjugative transposons may be encoded by other rumen Prevotella strains.

Culturing Conditions
Prevotella bryantii B14 grows well in M2GSC or M2G medium at 37 °C under strictly anaerobic conditions. Cells can be grown overnight in either medium. B14 can also be grown on M10G agar plates, with colonies typically appearing after 36–72 h of incubation. Cultures and agar plates are maintained in an anaerobic chamber containing 95% CO2 and 5% H2.
