Abstract
The question of the differentiation of the bacillus of symptomatic anthrax from that of malignant edema often arises. The fact that both possess the ability to produce gas when grown in carbohydratecontaining media, suggested that this characteristic might be used in differentiation. A study of the literature revealed such a paucity of data in this field that further work seemed necessary. In this communication attention has been confined largely to the production of carbon dioxid and hydrogen and to their ratios. Work has also been done on the production of hydrogen sulfid and on several other biochemical characteristics, such as the production of methyl mercaptan, indol, and acids, and the action on nitrates. This work will be the substance of a later report.
