Subterminal spores are found in:
Answer: A
Correct answer: Clostridium sporogenes
The clostridia are classified by the shape and position of the spore. C. sporogenes has an oval subterminal spore, as do C. perfringens, C. septicum, C. novyi and C. histolyticum. C. sordellii and C. tertium carry oval terminal spores, and C. tetani a spherical terminal one that swells the rod into the drumstick. Spore position is one of the first things looked at on a Gram film and narrows the identification considerably.
