A taxonomic study of the members of the genus Serratia
Abstract
SUMMARY
A study of the morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics of 12 strains of different species of the genus Serratia indicates that most strains of species thus far recognized are identical with Serratia marcescens.
The names S. piscatorum (Lehmann and Neumann) Breed, S. pyoseptica (Fortineau) Bergey, S. fuschsina (Boeckhout et de Vries) Bergey, S. anolium (Duran-Reynals et Clausen) are to be regarded as synonyms of S. marcescens Bizio and Serratia marcescens var. kiliensis.
The strains S. saponaria I and II Markov should be removed from the genus Serratia and placed provisionally in the genus Alcaligenes.
