Abstract
The guanine plus cytosine content of the. DNA of Leptotrichia buccalis varied from 28.4 to 29.5 mol% (three strains). Eleven strains examine d grew well under anaerobic and microaerobic conditions, but slowly in air in the presence of CO2. When examined for preformed enzymes in th e APIZYM Complete Research Kit, positive reactions were obtained for s everal glucosidases and carboxylic ester hydrolases, and for a few pep tidases.
