1073–1078. 1964.—The base composition of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of sulfate-reducing bacteria was calculated from buoyant density measurements in CsCl. The sporulating sulfate-reducing bacteria fell into two groups:
Desulfovibrio orientis
with a DNA base composition of 42% guanine plus cytosine (G + C), and
Clostridium nigrificans
with a DNA base composition of 45% G + C. The mesophilic relative of
C. nigrificans
had a DNA base composition of 46% G + C. Thirty strains of nonsporulating sulfate-reducing bacteria called
D. desulfuricans
were studied. They fell into three groups as judged by DNA base composition: group I (11 strains), 60 to 62% G + C; group II (13 strains), 54 to 56% G + C; and group III (6 strains), 46 to 47% G + C. These data underline the need for a taxonomic revision of this group of microorganisms.
