Abstract

Summary: The abilities of 26 marine and 12 other Pseudomonas-like strains of bacteria to grow on single carbon sources, their antibiotic sensitivities and complement of some enzymes of intermediary metabolism were numerically analysed and gave five phenons. Two phenons contained strains with more than 55 mol % GC and were regarded as spp., two were similar to the genus , and one was an intermediate phenon. Tests for identifying such organisms are proposed. Derby & Hammer 1931 and Pivnick 1955 should be considered synonyms of Derby & Hammer comb. nov.
