Everything you need to safetly collect and culture bacteria and fungi from your environment

Ward's® Live Escherichia coli, Lactose Negative Culture

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

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

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

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).

Produces streptomycin. Branching mycelium and coenocytic hyphae. 

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

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

Found in seawater and marine animals. Young cultures luminescent.

Frequent human isolate. Causes gastroenteritis.

Produces orange pigments.
