THE CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA 259 



Potato. Growth reddish, later shows a bronze shimmer. 



Milk. Coagulated, peptonized. 



Glucose bouillon. No gas, acid. Pigment soluble in alcohol, chloroform, 

 and carbon bisulphide, less so in ether, and with difficulty in water. The 

 addition of an alkali renders the red-violet solution of the pigment yellow. 

 The most suitable medium is a sodium tartrate pepton agar.
