β¦ Synopsis
The molar percentages of guanine plus cytosine in the DNA of 51 stratus of Simonsiellaceae were determined by buoyant density ultracentrifugation of cell lysates in CsC1. The DNA base ratios ranged from 41-55 mole-~ guanine plus cytosine. These values fall within the range known for the Order Cytophagales, the non-fruiting gliding bacteria, and are outside the range of the Order Myxobacterales, the fruiting myxobacteria. Among the strains of the genus Sirnonsiella, four distinct groups can be delineated on the basis of source of origin (sheep, dog, cat, human) and GC content. The neotype of Alysiellafiliformis has a GC content of 45.4 mole-~.

The guanine + cytosine content (GC) of DNAs of 9 strains of pediococci and 6 strains of aerococci was determined using different physicochemical methods. It was found that the GC content of DNA of the pediococci ranged from 37.8 to 41.2~ while that of the aerococci varied from 42.0 to 43.20/0 . The
The deoxyribonucleic acids of 70 hyphomicrobia were examined at equilibrium in neutral CsC1 density gradients. The guanine plus cytosine (~ G + C) content was estimated to range from 59.2 to 66.8~ G A-C. The strains could be divided into three groups with different base composition of their DIqA; 61
The D N A base composition of the photosynthetic prokaryote Prochloron was determined (on samples collected from the natural environment) to be 40.8mo1% GC. The sharp differential melting curve indicated the absence of significant quantities of contaminating D N A from other organisms. The genome si
