Morphology. Bacilli 0.5-0.6: 0.6-1.2 /a; occur singly. 



Gelatin. Liquefied slowly, i.e. after 28 days. On solid media growth yellow- 

 ish, but pigment forms slowly. 



Milk. Coagulated slowly, often not until 28 days. A slight reduction of 

 nitrates. 



Pepton-rosolic acid. Unchanged. 



Litmus milk. Unchanged. 



Habitat. From Krai's laboratory.

 Optimum temperature 30 C. 



Gelatin colonies. Deep: round irregular, yellowish gray, granular. Surface: 

 in 8 days, convex, I mm., reddish yellow. 



Gelatin stab. In depth, a good growth ; on the surface, growth round, con- 

 vex, yellowish. 



Agar slant. Growth yellowish, glistening.
