Outline of Final Research Achievements	Alkaliphilic bacteria were isolated from rumen fluid of sheep and cultured using an alkaline medium. Alkaliphilic bacteria were identified by mass spectrometer and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Alkaliphilic bacteria isolated from sheep rumen fluid were also isolated from sheep feces. Among these alkaliphilic bacteria include strains used as human probiotics and xylanase and/or cellulase producer strains are known, it was suggested that these alkaliphilic microorganisms can be new biological resources.
