• Sugar catabolism of alkaliphilic bacilli was investigated to reveal their catabolic characteristics. Four bacilli were cultured in the presence of various 1% (w/v) sugars and related compounds such as sugar alcohols, and the catabolites formed were analyzed. All alkaliphiles produced acetic acid (4.5-5g/l at the maximum) while formic acid was produced by only one of the strains. In contrast to neutrophilic bacilli, acetoin, butanediol or ethanol was not detected. Moderate amounts of isobutyric, isovaleric, α-oxoisovaleric, α-oxo-β-methylvaleric, α-oxoisocaproic and phenylacetic acids were generated with three of the alkaliphiles. High pH and/or buffer concentration tends to favour formation of acids. The studied alkaliphiles are compared among each other and with neutrophilic bacilli.
