Identification of Zoogloea species and the Relationship to Zoogloeal Matrix and Floc Formation

摘要: Three floc-forming, gram-negative, polarly flagellated rods were isolated and characterized. Our isolates compared to four similar floc-forming organisms previously in another laboratory classified as two species of Zoogloea, one Pseudomonas, unidentified gram-negative rod. Possession zoogloeal matrix or flocculent growth habit was examined relation biochemical patterns the bacteria. A possible relationship Zoogloea other gelatinous matrix-producing bacteria is also discussed. Images
