ec Is a facultative anaerobic, non-liquefying bacillus. Grows very well in 
agar, but does not grow at all in wort gelatine. The colonies are yellow with a 
greenish tinge, growing in concentric layers. The colonies are smooth and oily. 
This form does not grow in blood serum. Has a waddling movement straight 
ahead. Size, 61. 
Flour No. 2 contains 3 forms: a (2) a (8) (c7). 
a(2) Is a facultative anaerobic, liquefying bacillus. Grows slightly more in 
agar than in wort gelatine. Full description has been given in the body of this 
article. } 
a(3) Is a facultative anaerobic, liquefying bacillus. Grows well in agar and 
wort gelatine. Liquifies gelatine and produces a marked white film over the sur- 
face. The colonies are oily, smooth and regular, of a grayish color. This form 
is 3— 91, and possesses no movement. ; 
e(l) Facultative anaerobic, non-liquefying covcus form, groups of two or 
more. Grows well in agar, but does not grow at all in wort gelatine. The 
colonies are smooth and oily, with smooth edges. Pink in color. Is 14}—1¥  di- 
ameter. Possesses no movement. 
Flour No. 3 contains 4 forms: a (1) a(2) c (1), same as No. 2 (c’) and d (1). 
a(1) Aerobic, liquefying, bacillus, growing singly and in filaments. This 
form grows very well in both wort gelatine and agar. The colonies are tough and 
slimy, with smooth edges. Yellow in color. Size is 3) 3, and possesses no 
movement. 
a(2) facultative anaerobic, liquefying bacillus. Grows well in agar; notso 
well in wort gelatine. The colonies are grayish yellow in color, oily and slimy, 
with irregular edges. This bacillus is 3 >< {“, and possesses no movement. 
e (1) Pink variety same as No. 2 c (1). 
di) Facultative anaerobic, non-liquefying bacillus. Grows well in agar, 
and very slightly in wort gelatine. The colonies are yellow, tree-like in form, 
with firm edges, with the center slimy and oily. Form is 3 4 in size and has a 
slow, waddling movement. 
No. 4 flour contains 6 forms and one yeast: a (2)-e (1) b @) a @) ¢ @ d (1) and yeast f (1). 
a(2) Facultative anaerobic, non-liquefying bacillus. This form grows well 
in agar, but does not grow at allin wort gelatine. The colonies are grayish yellow, 
oily, slimy, and have smooth edges. Size, 3—44 $. Has a burrowing move- 
ment. 
T (1) Turns out to be a red yeast twice as long as broad, differing from all 
red yeasts previously noted. Has granular contents vacuoles, large and vary from 
1—5 in number. Gross appearnce, very dull, firm, pink on agar. Also grows 
well in gelatine. Some cells show spore like bodies at each end. Size, 6>< 3.
