Cultural, Biochemical, and Immunological Properties of Mima, Herellea, and Flavobacterium Species

John D Nelson 1, Sharon Shelton 1
PMCID: PMC1058347  PMID: 4956244

Abstract

From study of cultural and biochemical characteristics of 40 strains of Herellea, Mima, or Flavobacterium species, a proposed schema for identification was developed. The reactions observed by agglutination, gel diffusion, and immunofluorescence suggest antigenic heterogeneity of this group of organisms.
