Abstract

Summary Bacteroides hypermegas ( Harrison and Hansen ) differs to such an extent from the type species of Bacteroides, Bacteroides fragilis ( Veillon and Zuber ), that it cannot be retained in this genus. On the basis of morphological, biochemical and chemical criteria it is suggested that Bacteroides hypermegas be reclassified in a new genus, Megamonas , as Megamonas hypermegas ( Harrison and Hansen ) comb. nov.
