Summary. Two hundred and fortyfive isolates of cannery flavobacteria and 5 reference strains were compared by 96 morphological, colonial, physiological and biochemical tests. The results were subjected to computerized Adansonian analysis to investigate the possibility that such bacteria constitute a phenetic taxon. Three pleista are postulated.
