Bacteria Responsible for the Retting of Brazilian Flax

J. A. Rosemberg

Laboratory of Industrial Microbiology, National School of Chemistry, University of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

ABSTRACT

Twenty-two species of bacteria were isolated from Linum usitatissimum stored for retting. Achromobacter parvulus, Clostridium beijerinckii, C. saprogenes, C. saccharoacetoperbutylicum, C. perenne, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its achromogenic variety are retting agents. The last species mentioned performs the retting in only 72 hr. This is the first time A. parvulus has been shown to be a retting agent.
