The Taxonomy of certain Luminous Bacteria Free

Abstract

Summary: A named strain of each of the species and , together with a recently isolated strain of each of the first two named species, were studied in an attempt to elucidate their correct generic classification. On the basis of morphology, sensitivity to certain antibiotics and a vibriostatic substance, and method of dissimilation of carbohydrates, it was concluded that and should be classified in the genus , and the remainder of the species in the genus .
