This species of Rhodospirillum is commonly isolated from stagnant water and mud. It is especially interesting because it produces a red pigment and is also capable of photosynthesis.

Kocuria rhizophila is also commonly known by the name Micrococcus luteus. This organism is commonly isolated from soil, and is frequently used to test antimicrobial efficacy in the food industry.

This organism is commonly isolated from soil, and depending upon the temperature of its environment, can produce a distinctive red pigment.

This organism is normal flora of human skin.

Deuteromycete. “Black mold”. Produces citric acid. Common airborne contaminant. Causes aspergillosis. Incubation temperature 25°C. Sabouraud dextrose agar growth medium.

Penicillium notatum is a deuteromycete that produces penicillin. It is available in normal and high-yield strains.

Zygomycete. Common black bread mold. Lab contaminant. Mating strain, cross with Rhizopus stolonifer (nigricans) (-) to produce zygospores. Incubation temperature 25°C. Potato dextrose agar growth medium.
