sp. nov., an Asaccharolytic Black-Pigmented Species from Infected Dental Root Canals Free

Abstract

A new species, is proposed for black-pigmented asaccharolytic strains that have negligible deoxyribonucleic acid homology with either or Strain HG370 (= ATCC 35406) is the type strain. Unlike does not agglutinate sheep erythrocytes or produce phenylacetic acid. resembles physiologically but can be distinguished by its lower deoxyribonucleic acid guanine-plus-cytosine content (50 versus 53 to 54 mol%), by its serological reactions, by its electrophoretic patterns of proteins, and possibly by its menadione requirement.
