"bacteria"

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

No Lancefield group shown, alpha hemolysis. Bile solubility test positive, optochin sensitive. Causes pneumonia. 

Lancefield group A, beta hemolysis. Sensitive to bacitracin. Causes strep throat, rheumatic fever, and scarlet fever.

Ames test strain for detecting carcinogens. Causes infection in humans. 

Freshwater. Filamentous. Unbranched trichome, thinly sheathed; oscillating movement. 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 soil. Forms red pigment (best on high carbohydrate medium) and has oval eccentric spores. 

Isolated from sewage, human intestines, and urinary tract infections. Spreading colonies are seen on agar growth medium. 

Isolated from milk and cheese products. Can be used to ferment milk. 

Isolated from human nasopharynx, saliva, and sputum. Spontaneously agglutinates in saline.

Both of these strains of Serratia marcescens are colorless mutants when plated alone, but when grown together, they produce a red pigment.

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

This organism is commonly isolated from soil or water, and produces a pink or rose colored pigment.

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.

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.

This organism is a common inhabitant of intestinal flora, and can be a major cause of urinary tract infection.

Used for culturing Dictyostelium discoideum (cellular slime mold).
