"micro tube racks"

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

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

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

Noted for capsular swelling. Causes pneumonia and urinary tract infections.

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

This organism is a common environmental isolate, and can be found in soil as well as in industrial settings.

Beta hemolysis on blood. Causes wound infections and septicemia. 

Capsules produced in milk. Psychrophilic (prefers low temperatures), produces yellow pigments. 

This pathogenic organism is sometimes isolated from hay and grass.

Isolated from milk, ferments lactose. Lancefield group N, gamma hemolysis

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.

Lancefield group C, beta hemolysis. Causes strangles in horses. May be pathogenic in humans. Camp test negative; resistant to bacitracin, does not ferment lactose. 

Fascinate students with some of the simplest light-producing organisms

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

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.
