Summary
Antigenic studies of twenty-five strains of acetic acid bacteria show that non-overoxidising strains form a serologically distinct group which by other characteristics can be identified asAcetobacter suboxydans (Bergey's Manual, 7th Ed.)
The overoxidising strains do not constitute a serologically homogeneous group although evidence is presented that interrelationships can be established between certain strains.
