Abstract
The soluble cellular proteins of strains of Peptococcus magnus and Peptostreptococcus micros were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein patterns were distinctive and repeatable, and the two species could be separated redily. The protein pattern of strain ATCC 23195, the type strain of Peptococcus glycinophilus (Cardon and Barker 1946) Douglas 1957, was identical to that of strain ATCC 33270 (= VPI 5464), the type strain of Peptostreptococcus micros (Prévot 1933) Smith 1957. Because these two strains were 84% homologous as determined by deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid homology experiments, the name Peptococcus glycinophilus is a later subjective synonym of Peptostreptococcus micros. Preliminary results indicated that ”Peptococcus variabilis“ (Foubert and Douglas 1948) Douglas 1957 may be a valid species, but reinstatement is not proposed at this time.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
