Abstract

Antisera prepared against the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases of , and were used to measure relationships among the lactic acid bacteria by immuno-chemical techniques. Our results confirmed the results of earlier phylogenetic studies carried out with anti-fructose diphosphate aldolase sera. We present new data in the form of dendrograms, which, for the first time, include heterofermenta-tive members of the lactic acid bacteria. Previously acquired quantitative data are integrated with our new data to produce a three-dimensional phylogenetic map which shows the relationships of five genera of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria.
