Gaston, Lamont W. (National Heart Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.) and E. R. Stadtman. Fermentation of ethylene glycol by Clostridium glycolicum, sp. n. J. Bacteriol. 85:356-362. 1963.-An anaerobic organism which utilizes ethylene glycol as a source of energy and carbon has been isolated from mud. It is a long (5 mu), slender, motile, gram-positive, spore-forming rod, with peritrichous flagellae. It grows well from 22 to 37 C at pH 7.4 to 7.6, and ferments glucose, fructose, sorbitol, dulcitol, and cellulose. It does not reduce nitrates, form indole, or cause hemolysis or proteolysis except for a slight attack on coagulated egg albumin. Fifteen amino acids and the vitamins biotin and pantothenate are required for optimal growth on ethylene glycol. Analogues other than propylene glycol do not support growth. Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are stoichiometrically converted to equal amounts of the respective acid and alcohol.
加斯顿，拉蒙特·W.（国立卫生研究院国家心脏研究所，马里兰州贝塞斯达）和E.R.斯塔特曼。嗜糖梭菌对乙二醇的发酵，新种。《细菌学杂志》85:356 - 362。1963年。——从泥浆中分离出一种厌氧生物，它利用乙二醇作为能量和碳源。它是一种长（5微米）、细长、能动、革兰氏阳性、产芽孢的杆菌，有周生鞭毛。在22至37摄氏度、pH值7.4至7.6的条件下生长良好，能发酵葡萄糖、果糖、山梨醇、卫矛醇和纤维素。它不还原硝酸盐，不产生吲哚，也不引起溶血或蛋白水解，除了对凝固的卵清蛋白有轻微作用。在乙二醇上实现最佳生长需要15种氨基酸以及生物素和泛酸这两种维生素。除丙二醇外的类似物不能支持其生长。乙二醇和丙二醇按化学计量比转化为等量的相应酸和醇。
