Abstract

SUMMARY

SUMMARY. A comparative study of the biochemical reactions given by cultures of and by members of the “Hafnia group” is reported. It is concluded that sufficient differences of taxonomic importance between the two warrant elevation of latter “group” from subspecies to species level. Further, it is shown that the correct name for the bacteria formerly called the “Hafnia group” or subsp. alvei is Enterobacter (Moeller) Ewing.
