Abstract
The API ZYM patterns of 97Bacteroides and 25Fusobacterium strains were examined. The system discriminated betweenB. asaccharolyticus, B. melaninogenicus ss.melaninogenicus, andB. melaninogenicus ss.melaninogenicus, but not between otherBacteroides species or between species ofFusobacterium. The results provided new information on the enzymatic activity of theses gorups of bacteria.Keywords
