The results of re-examination for the isolates D-28, D-28a from Kimchi and 88-3 from laver are summarized as follows: 1). All these isolates were proved to be Gram positive, catalase positive and spore-forming. 2). While these strains were not consistent with Bacillus megaterium group with respect to Voges-Proskauer reaction and methyl red test, their cultural characteristics were well consistent with this group. 3). These isolates showed the similar suger-fermentability as B. megaterium group with a slight difference. 4). It is proved that, according to the forgoing results and vitamin $B_{12}$ producibility, the isolate 88-3 is identical with B. megaterium NRRL-B 938 and D-28, D-28a, with B. megaterium 425-1 and 425-2, respectively.
