The presence of A. viscolactis in milk is a common cause for sliminess or "ropiness".

Isolated from human nasopharynx. Presumably not related to N. sicca; some relation to N. gonorrhoeae. Often agglutinates in saline. 

Nitrogen fixation, produces nodules on legume roots. Bacteroids from nodules can be X, Y, and club shapes.

Isolated from human saliva, sputum, and intestine. No Lancefield group shown, alpha hemolysis.

A collection of some of the strains of Escherichia coli needed to grow various coliphages (available separately).

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.

Antibiotics in wastewater may lead to multi drug-resistant bacteria.

Normal flora of respiratory tract. Beta-lactamase positive. Also known by the name Branhamella catarrhalis

This filamentous cyanobacteria is comprised of heterocysts and akinetes that are terminally located on the filament.

This organism is commonly isolated from sewage, water, soil and dairy products, as it is a normal part of intestinal flora.

Beneficial bacteria for plants and humans alike

Freshwater. Filamentous. True branching, dimorphic structure. Basic culture solution.

Shipped in a form that provides the best quality specimen. Most are supplied in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars..
