Abstract

We studied the biochemical relationships of “Enterobacterium A12” of Sachs to 14 and 032. “Enterobacterium A12” differed from typical strans of 14 only in its ability to produce gas from glucose. Otherwise, “Enterobacterium A12” and 032 were biochemically quite different. On the basis of these findings we propose that “Enterobacterium A12” should be regarded as an aerogenic variant of 14, analogous to the aerogenic varieties of 6.
