Abstract

Interest in the microorganisms of harsh environments has increased for several reasons within past years. One of us (R. E. C.) has made extensive collections of microorganisms from many desert regions over the past several years. The work reported here is limited to bacterial species. The extensive nature of the collection provided an opportunity to examine the general physiological characteristics of bacteria from a harsh environment; the role of antibiosis in the ecology of the group and the generic distribution in divergent desert soils.
