Abstract
24 cultures?: of thermophilic bacteria were isolated from the thermal areas of the Park and characterized along with 6 similar strains obtained from the National Canners Assoc. Most of the strains closely resembled Bacillus stearothermophilus. but 8 strains appeared to represent a group intermediate between B. stearothermophilus and B.coagulans, and may be a new species. The use of lysozyme action as an aid in taxonomic studies was introduced.Keywords
