Sporocytophaga strains were isolated from soil and manure and the bacteria were purified by plating enriched cultures on glucose agar. The effects of nitrogen compounds, carbohydrates and growth factors, on the metabolism of the isolated strains were studied. Glucose, mannose and cellobiose were the only carbohydrates utilized by the cellulose decomposing Sporocytophaga strains. High concentrations 4.5 per cent, M/4 of glucose inhibited glucose but not endogenous respiration. The optimum glucose concentration for strain 5-80 was M/200. [...]
