Large numbers of bacteriophages (2 x 10(7) to 1 x 10(8)/ml) were present in ruminal fluid from sheep and cattle. Twenty-six distinct types were identified and placed in three morphological groups; several phages possessed unusual structural features. The large numbers and diversity of phages observed indicates a possible role in bacterial lysis and hence in the population dynamics of the ruminal bacteria.
绵羊和牛的瘤胃液中存在大量噬菌体（2×10⁷至1×10⁸/ml）。已鉴定出26种不同类型，并分为三个形态学组；几种噬菌体具有不寻常的结构特征。观察到的噬菌体数量众多且种类多样，表明其在细菌裂解中可能发挥作用，进而在瘤胃细菌的种群动态中发挥作用。
