Trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives prepared from whole-cell hydrolysates of 36 strains, representing 10 species of Clostridium were examined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The TMS profile of each species contained a group of peaks which characterized the species. Variation among strains within a species was much lower than variation between species. Some of the closely related clostridia could be differentiated by comparing their TMS profiles. Strains of Clostridium botulinum were distinguished from C. sporogenes on the basis of the ratio of two GLC peaks which corresponded to arabinose and glucose. A peak with a retention time identical to that of mannose was present in all C. bifermentans strains but was absent in those of C. sordellii.

An aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, motile, coccus-shaped actinomycete, designated strain LSe6-4, was isolated from leaves of sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum L.) in Thailand and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic studies. Growth of the strain occurred at temperatures between 15 and 38 °C, and with NaCl concentrations 0-13%.

A bacterial strain designated HT6-4 was isolated from soil samples collected from the Flaming Mountain, Xinjiang, PR China. The purpose of this study was to describe a novel species and its characteristics, through genome sequencing and analysis of the relationship between the members of the genus , and explore the antiradiation, antioxidation and antibacterial capabilities of strain HT6-4. The polyphasic study confirmed the affiliation of strain HT6-4 with the genus .

While screening for antibiotics in a marine sample, we discovered a berninamycin C-producing actinomycete, designated YSPA8, isolated from a sponge. A polyphasic approach was used to determine the taxonomic position of the strain. Strain YSPA8 formed sympodially branched aerial mycelia that ultimately segment into chains of spores.
