477–490. 1964.—Four unusual isolates of
Actinomyces
species were compared with six control strains of well-identified
Actinomyces
species. Their oxygen requirements and their morphological and biochemical characteristics were determined. Final identifications were confirmed by cell-wall analyses for amino acid and carbohydrate composition and by agar-gel techniques. Two strains, A-13-R and A-13-S, isolated from the same cow head were shown to represent rough and smooth variants of
A. bovis
. The strains were not only morphologically distinct, but had different biochemical reactions and antigenic makeup. The two other strains, X407 and X573, isolated from human pleural fluid and a lung abscess, respectively, were shown to represent a new
Actinomyces
species.
