The base compositions of the deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) extracted from four representative strains of Dermatophilus congolensis and six of Geodermatophilus obscurus, which are described in the literature as belonging to the family Dermatophilaceae (Actinomycetales), were determined. The range of guanine plus cytosine contents (G+C) of their DNAs was 57.4 to 58.7 mol% for D. congolensis and 72.9 to 74.6 mol% for G. obscurus. This difference in DNA base composition is considered great enough to suggest a substantial genetic heterology between the two groups of organisms.
