Fibrobacteres
Scientific classification
Domain:	Bacteria
Phylum:	Fibrobacteres

Fibrobacteres is a small bacterial phylum which includes many of the major rumen bacteria, allowing for the degradation of plant-based cellulose in ruminant animals. Members of this phylum were categorized in other phyla. The genus Fibrobacter (the only genus of Fibrobacteres) was divided from the genus Bacteroides in 1988.^[1]
