"bacteria"

Isolated from straw, can also be found in the soil, and acts as a decomposer. Slight anti-bacterial activity. With coenocytic hyphae

From soil and water rich in minerals. Organism of putrefaction.

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.

A. tumefaciens is a pathogenic soil bacterium known to cause grown gall disease, in nut trees and the plants of some stone fruits.
