Abstract
Unlike E. coli. type I, when E. coli. type II was repeatedly exposed to salt water, the survival of E. coli. type II was changed from rapid extinction to multiplication as experiments went on. At the same time, it was also made clear that E. coli. type II was replaced by Citrobacter freundi as E. coli. type II adapted itself to salt water. The enterococcus group was separated into four distinct types: S. faecalis, S. faecalis var. liquefaciens, S. faecium and S. durans. The results of the experiments on viability in salt water indicated that S. faecalis var. liquefaciens possessed the greatest viability, and S. faecium the weakest. Each type of enterococcus group had a different adaptability to salt water. S. faecium could adapt itself to salt water as well as S. faecalis and S. faecalis var. liquefacients. S. durans could not adapt itself to salt water at all. Refs.
