Thirty-six strains of enterococci were examined by standard physiological tests. The soluble proteins of cell-free extracts were separated by electrophoresis in starch gels. Specific staining technique for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were applied to the gels. The results of electrophoresis supported the subdivision of the group into two major divisions represented by Streptococcus faecalis and S. faecium, with S. durans as a variant of S. faecium. It was possible tentatively to identify three strains which did not fit well into the taxonomic scheme used.
