Bacteria - Living Material

Grows on dead tissues. Novobiocin resistant (S. epidermidis and S. aureus novobiocin sensitive). 

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

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..

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

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.

E. coli with JM101 can be transformed with pUC8 plasmid to become resistant to Ampicillin and to metabolize lactose

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

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.

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

Produces orange pigments. 

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

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.

This non-pathogenic strain of E. coli was initially created for cloning use.

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

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