Abstract

SUMMARY

A computer programme was used to group 85 strains of flexibacteria on the basis of similarity in 84 structural, physiological and biochemical characteristics. The procedure gave 19 groups, the members of which were very similar in their characteristics. The groups could be grouped in seven assemblages whose members showed lesser, but still considerable, similarity. The groups may represent taxonomic entities at the species level; the assemblages, those at the generic level.
