Abstract
Characteristics of an obligate anaerobe isolated from discolored tissues in living oaks were determined. The bacterium was found to be a motile, sporeforming, gram-negative rod which was catalase- and oxidase-negative. The isolate was weakly fermentative and non-proteolytic. Differences in biochemical activities and DNA base composition between the tree isolate and those of recognized species of Clostridia were considered significant enough to propose the new species,Clostridium quercicolum.
