  1. There are a few bacteria that play an important role in this process but the most dominant ones are a group called archaebacteria within them is a smaller group called methanogens.


  2. There are bacteria and protozoa(unicellular animals eg amoeba) that live in the digestive track of the cow. They break down cellulose into glucose (which the body can then process to be come ATP) through fermentation.
