An extensive study of the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and antimicrobial lytic properties of the holotypic strain NCIB 9059 (ATCC 19366) of F. pectinovorum has revealed that it is more properly classified as Cytophaga johnsonae Stanier 1947. The guanine-plus-cytosine ratio of 33 mol% agrees with the range reported for C. johnsonae (30 to 35 mol%).", }
