Abstract
Polyclonal antiserum prepared against Chloroflexus aurantiacus reacted with all Chloroflexus strains examined but not with other morphologically or physiologically similar bacteria. Only one of three filament types in a natural hot spring cyanobacterial mat reacted with this antiserum. Reacting filaments remained antigenically positive deep within the mat in material estimated to be several years old.
