title: [Use of acetamide by Bacillus gordonae. II. Research on acetamidase and the taxonomic value of spontaneous mutation permitting the acquisition of this enzyme].
abstract: The wild strain Q1 had no acetamidase. The mutant Q1Ac synthesized an inducible acetamidase which was catabolite repressible by glucose. The mutation described is a character that has a high taxonomic value. It constitutes a new example of acquisitive evolution.
