“…N. farcinica was once identified as N. asteroides [5,8], but later it was differentiated from N. asteroides by both serological [15] and numerical [26] analyses. Recently, Lechevalier et al [14] reported that N. farcinica contained mycolic acid as did the Mycobacterium and hence it should be transferred to the genus Mycobacterium.…”

A computer taxonomy was carried out as an aid to clarify the relationships between the genera Mycobacterium, and Nocardia as well as the 'Rhodochrous' group. The last group contained slightly acidfast organisms isolated from sputa and soil and also included strains received as "Mycobacterium rhodochrous." The group had been proposed as the genus Gordona by the present author. The rhodochrous group formed a cluster at the 87% similarity level and was clearly separated from all strains of the genera Mycobacterium and Nocardia. The cluster of the rhodochrous group was divided into seven subclusters at the 90% similarity level, and six of the seven corresponded to six species of the genus Gordona : G. bronchialis; G. rubropertincta (synonym G. rubra); G. terrae; G. aurantiaca; G. rhodochroa ; G. rosea. If one accepts the concept that a phenetically well-defined cluster is a species, each of the subclusters of the rhodochrous group should be regarded as a species and the entire group as a genus. Discrepancies between the results of numerical classification and the results of lipid analyses remain as a problem to be solved in the future.

“…Temperature tests were also carried out using BBL Dubos Agar. Other tests performed were the ability of the organisms to utilize various organic acids as sole carbon sources (Gordon & Mihm, 1957) and carbohydrate fermentation using ammonium salt sugar medium (Cowan & Steel, 1965) (Table IV). The results of these tests were compared with those obtained by other workers (Gordon & Smith, 1955;Gordon & Mihm, 1959;Ross, 1959;Sanford & Gunthorpe, 1969) (Table V).…”

A new species, Phialophora europaea, member of the P. verrucosa complex, is introduced. It is distinguished from existing species by reduced, flaring phialidic collarettes and inability to assimilate melibiose as sole source of carbon. Analysis of ITS1 and 2 rDNA of six strains attributed to the species show it to be clearly individualized. All strains originated from cutaneous and nail infections of humans in North-western Europe. A key to morphologically similar taxa is provided.
