Mycological Examination of Dust from Mouldy Hay Associated with Farmer's Lung Disease

Abstract

SUMMARY: An Adansonian analysis of the features of 62 yellow pigmented marine bacteria, all but one of which were identified as Flavobacterium species by the workers who isolated them, revealed that 34 fell into one of two large pleista or groups; the rest fell into smaller pleista, or were the sole representative of their pleiston present. The possibility that these pleista approximate to various established genera is discussed.
