Strains designated asClostridium butyricumwere found to constitute two distinct groups on the basis of wall sugar patterns, nucleotide-sequence similarities of DNA preparations and nutritional requirements. Organisms in homology group I had walls which contained only glucose and would grow in a mineral salts-glucose medium with 0·05 μg./ml. biotin, although growth was improved by the addition of amino acids. Some strains labelledC. multifermentansandC. fallaxbelonged to this group. Organisms in homology group II had glucose and galactose as wall sugars and would not grow in mineral salts-glucose medium with amino acids and 10 vitamins unless yeast extract was also added. Strains ofC. amylolyticum, C. rubrum, C. beijerinckii, C. lacto-acetophilumand some strains labelledC. multifermentansbelonged to group II.It is recommended that the nameClostridium butyricumbe retained for the organisms in group I, whileC. beijerinckiiis suggested for group II. Some of the strains labelledC. fallaxand the strains ofC. acetobutylicum, C. aurantibutyricum, C. pasteurianumandC. tyrobutyricumdid not belong to either group.
