"Ward's Phenomena"

This colonial cyanobacteria is structured as several cells bound together in a gelatinous "mucilaginous sheath".

This organism is a common environmental isolate, and can be found in soil as well as in industrial settings.

This organism is commonly found in soil and water, and is also associated with spoiled food. It produces a diffusible fluorescent pigment.

Colorless, most widely dispersed of the Serratia species. 

This spore-forming, thermophilic organism is commonly used for germicidal and sporicidal testing due to its ability to withstand higher-than-normal temperatures.

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

Red-pigmented halophile from evaporating salt ponds; requires 25% salt medium, lyses easily in plain water, releasing DNA.
