Ultraviolet Light Sensitivity as an Aid for the Identification of Gram-negative, Yellow-pigmented Rods Free

Abstract

Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented rods with low mol % GC contents (% GC about 30 to 40) were more sensitive to ultraviolet light than those with high mol % GC contents (% GC about 60 to 70). This finding may be useful in identifying those Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented bacilli currently classified as
