Gelatin colonies. In 3-4 days. Deep: very small, white, entire. Surface: 

 thin, moist, glistening, stringy, becoming thicker. 



Agar colonies. In 2 days, at 30 C. Deep: small, yellowish white, entire. 

 Surface: moist, glistening, dirty white, stringy, becoming white and 

 spreading. 



Agar slant. Growth limited, raised in the centre ; whitish grayish. 



Gelatin slant. Growth milky, raised in the middle. 



Gelatin stab. In depth, growth pearly ; on the surface, growth spreading, milk- 

 white.
