Abstract
THERE has recently been a great need in medical microbiology for more rapid and objective methods of differentiating pathogenic micro-organisms. Earlier work1,2 indicated that sub-species differences among diverse taxa could be detected by means of gas–liquid chromatography of their whole cell pyrolysis products. The present study confirms these results and shows that the distribution of pyrolytic products is a constant factor and is directly related to the chemical structure of the micro-organism.
