Abstract
The chemical action of Bacillus cloacæ on citric acid and on malic acid has not up to the present been investigated. Since this organism is a facultative anaërobe, the experiments were undertaken with the object of ascertaining the effect of the presence of oxygen on the course of the fermentation produced. It was found, however, that the organism could not grow on ammonium malate in the absence of oxygen, so that the observations on this subject were limited to the case of citric acid.Keywords
