BASE COMPOSITIONS OF DESOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID IN SPOROLACTOBACILLUS INULINUS AND OTHER LACTIC ACID BACTERIA

Abstract

Comparative studies were carried out on the GC content of desoxyribonucleic acid isolated from cells of several species of lactic acid bacteria and Sporolactobacillus inulinus nov. sp.. The DNA of S. inulinus has a GC content similar to that of L. leichmannii and is far different from that of genus Clostridium.
