Morphological, physiological and chemical studies were performed on the type strain of Corynebacterium beticola in an attempt to clarify its taxonomy. The results indicate that Corynebacterium beticola is a Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium which should be assigned to the genus Erwinia as Erwinia herbicola .
