An attempt has been made to further characterize the Flavobacterium groups found in an earlier study by determining utilizable carbon‐energy sources. As a preliminary, it was initially tried to define minimal growth factor requirements. It was found likely that most of the Flavobacterium groups have amino acid requirements, but a requirement for vitamins was also established for some strains. Testing Flavobacteria for carbon‐energy sources by the replica plating method was found sufficiently technically difficult as to result in dubious readings at times. However, the overall results of the carbon‐energy tests are in good agreement with the subdivision resulting from the previously performed biochemical tests, and the validity of the groups delimited in the earlier study is confirmed.
