Abstract
Four strains of Bacillus circulans sensu stricto (ATCC 4513 (type strain), 4515, 4516, and 4530) were subjected to 236 morphological, biochemical and physiological tests, including 162 carbon source utilization tests. B. circulans s. s. is a species of facultative anaerobes able to ferment carbohydrates. Many carbohydrates and a few aliphatic acids were used as sole carbon and energy sources, but amino acids were not. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of DNA (four strains studied) was 37.2 +/- 0.4 mol% (mean +/- standard deviation).
