Abstract

One hundred isolates from peas, beans, and corn were compared with cultures of Corynebacterium, Microbacterium, and Arthrobacter by use of numerical taxonomic procedures. Six groups (clusters), representing 75% of the isolates, resembled Corynebacteriaceae. There was some doubt regarding the genera represented because the groups were not closely related to many of the known strains. The relationship of the different groups to each other, as well as a number of their properties, is presented.
