✦ Synopsis

A rapid method for distinction between gram-negative and grampositive bacteria by means of a 3% solution of potassium hydroxide is tested on 71 gram-positive and 55 gram-negative bacterial strains. The method proved reliable with one exception only, a Bacillus macerans strain. That strain was definately gram-negative on staining. Other Bacillus strains were proved grampositive by the test, even those being gram-negative on staining.

The aminopeptidase test was performed with representatives of gram-negative, gram-positive, and gram-variable bacteria. All gram-negative bacteria tested gave a positive test reaction with L-alanine-4-nitroanilide as test substrate. Representatives of the coryneform bacteria and some streptococci sh

Different bacteria, isolated from soil by the enrichment method, were able to grow on phthalic acid as carbon source. Protocatechuate was identified as intermediate in phthalate metabolism. All phthalategrown bacteria oxidized phthalate and protocatechuate rapidly without having a lag-period. Benzoi
