Abstract

The relationship among 22 strains of , 3 strains of , 1 reference strain of , and the type strain of were assessed by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA hybridizations on membrane filters. We found that the . strains formed a homogeneous group that was distinct from . and the other species. There was about 40% hybridization between . DNA and . DNA, indicating some similarity, but . and . DNAs hybridized much less (never more than 20%) with . DNA.
