SUMMARY The capillary tube method is found to be better than the hanging drop method for examining the motility of cultures of Clostridia in different media.In the capillary tube, Clostridium butyricum and C. sporogenes moved away from air and oxygen gas-phases at the meniscus. Reasons for the failure to show this negative aerotaxis in C. septicum are discussed. The motility of C. sporogenes was activated by l-arginine.
