Abstract
The comparative studies of the flagellation and biochemical characteristics were carried out on 3 strains of Kluyvera citrophila, 2 strains of Kluyvera non-citrophila and 24 strains of Escherichia and the other related genera. The flagellation of both species of Kluyvera was found to be peritrichous. Having made clear the mistake in this respect of the original description, the authors proposed to transfer the species of Kluyvera to the genus of Escherichia of Enterobacteriaceae.
