Abstract
The morphological, genetic and biochemical features of F. simiae, a new species which accommodates isolates from monkey dental plaque, are described. F. simiae can be distinguished from currently recognized Fusobacterium spp. by its ability to produce indole, to hydrolyze hippurate, grow in 2% oxgall and to ferment fructose and glucose, but not 27 other carbohydrates. The type strain of this new species is 7511 R2-13 (= ATCC 33568).This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
