Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) homologies among 26 strains of bacteria including representative type species of the genera , and were determined by DNA/DNA reassociation in solution with S endonuclease for removing unpaired structures. The relatedness of the strains observed by this procedure are discussed together with previous findings made from numerical taxonomy and phage typing studies.
