| Abstract: | Eight strains, comprising all recognized species of Cellulomonas , were subjected to 51 different biochemical tests on four occasions. For 32 of these tests, a mixture of positive and negative results was obtained and from these data as few as six commonly used biochemical tests (glucose, indole, lactose, ONPG, nitrate and lysine) permit separation of the species of the genus Cellulomonas . A tentative simplified schema or dichotomous key is proposed. |
