Proposal of Two Subspecies of Fusobacterium necrophorum (Flugge) Moore and Holdeman: Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp. necrophorum subsp. nov., nom. rev. (ex Flugge 1886), and Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp. funduliforme subsp. nov., nom. rev. (ex HallE 1898)

Abstract excerpt

The biological and biochemical properties, DNA base compositions, and levels of DNA-DNA homology of two biovars of Fusobacterium necrophorum were examined. Some differences were found between the two biovars in biological and biochemical properties. The G + C contents of DNAs from biovar A strains VPI 2891T (T = type strain), NCTC 10576, N167, Fn47, and Fn43, were 32, 30, 29, 28, and 31 mol%, respectively. The G...
