An apparently new species of Clostridium was isolated from mud samples obtained from a stagnant lake near Athens, Georgia. These organisms were able to utilize inorganic pyrophosphate as a source of energy for growth, a phenomenon representing the simplest ATP-generating system in the biological world.
