The section of this handbook has been dividing into two volumes, the first volume contains information relating to purines, pyrimidine and nucleoside, oligonucleotide, polynucleotides, and their derivatives. Both ribo and deoxyribo compounds are listed also. The second volume will contain the remaining material similar to Volume 1 and material more relative to genetic and biological aspects such as enzymes involved in nucleic acid function, protein synthesis, linkage maps.

Guanine-Plus-Cytosine (GC) Composition of the Dna of Bacteria, Fungi, Algae and Protozoa

Dr. William M. Normore

The table of bacteria (Table 1) is divided into seven columns. In column 1, the bacteria are listed alphabetically by families, with subdivisions for genera and species; alternate generic or species names are given in parentheses. In general, Sergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology¹ has been followed for classification, but Skerman’s A Guide to the Identification of the Genera of Bacteria² and original papers were used in placing organisms not listed in Bergey’s Manual. In column 2, the source of the organism and its strain designation have been given where possible. In columns 3, 4, and 5, the mole percent quanisine-plus-cytosine values are given to the nearest 0.1%. Where ranges of values under any one method are listed, or where there are discrepancies between methods, the original papers should be consulted. The primary references for GC values are given in column A, while column B gives references to hybridization data on the same organisms. An alphabetized index of the genera precedes this table.

The tables for fungi, algae and protozoa (Tables 2, 3, and 4) are similarly arranged, except that column 1 lists the genera in alphabetical order.

The literature survey was concluded in May 1971.
