title: [An analysis of metablic organic acid of anaerobes by gas chromatography].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to test the reliability of measurement of metablic organic acid of anaerobic bacteria by gas chromatography for the identification of anaerobes.
  
  
  METHODS
  The metablic organic acid of 60 strains of 6 species of oral residential anaerobes were tested by gas chromatography qualitatively and quantitatively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was found that the types and quantities of metablic organic acid of all anaerobes but two strains of lactobacillus were coincident with the standard of identification of anaerobes,and the total coincidence was 97.67%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The anaerobes could be identified accurately and quickly by gas chromatography.
