Of 65 H2 S-producing isolates from seven samples of ground beef, 64 were found to beAlteromonas putrefaciens . Isolates ofPseudomonas putrefaciens were not encountered. The mean guanine-plus-cytosine content of DNAs from 10 of the representative isolates, obtained from thermal denaturation determinations, was 46.5 ± 1.0 mol%, which is consistent with the designationA. putrefaciens .
