Bouillon-agar culture (first dilution) of 

 Bacillus necrophorus, showing twenty-four- 

 hour growth, with numerous small gas- 

 bubbles, but the colonies have not developed 

 sufficiently to become visible. (Mohler and 

 Washburn.) 



Seven-day-old bouillon-agar culture of this 

 organism of'the fourth dilution. The isolated 

 colonies are characteristic in that their gray- 

 ish centres are surrounded by fuzzy white 

 areas, not unlike the strands of loose, fleecy 

 cotton. (Mohler and Washburn.) 



FIG. 124 



Single colonies of the necrosis bacillus, showing filamentous character of the growth 

 (enlarged about seven diameters). (Mohler and Washburn.)
