THE CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA 105 



CLASS IX. DISTINCTLY CHROMOGENIC. PIGMENT REDDISH- 

 PINKISH — FLESH-COLORED 

 I. Gelatin liquefied. 



A. Gonococcoid forms. 



81. M. roseus (Bumm). 



B. Cocci in irregular groups. 



1. Grow only at body temperatures, 37° C. 



82. M. rubescens. 



2. Do not grow at body temperatures, 37° C. 



83. M. coralinus Centanni. 

 II. Gelatin not liquefied. 



A. Very large cocci, 3.0-5.0 /a in diameter. 



84. M. Dantecii. 



B. Cocci much smaller than in A., and of average size. 



1 . Colonies on gelatin remain very small. 

 8;. M. lactericeus v. Dobrzyniecki. 



86. M. cinnabareus Flugge. 



2. Colonies on gelatin larger than above. 



87. M. Kefersteinii. 



88. M. carneus Zimmerman.

81. M. roseus (Bumm) 



Diplococcus roseus Bumm : Der Mikroorg. der gon. Schleimhauterkrankungen, 



1885, 25. 



Morphology. Like gonococci, i. 0-1.5 Z'" 



Gelatin colonies. Surface : slightly elevated, pink ; microscopically granular, 

 irregular. 



Gelatin stab. On the surface an abundant pink growth ; gelatin slowly lique- 

 fied after a long time. 



Habitat. Air. 



82. M. rubescens 



M. roseus, Eisenberg : Bak. Diag., 1891, 408. 



Morphology. Cocci 0.8-1.0 fi, singly and in irregular groups. At 37° C. no 



pigment. 

 Gelatin colonies. In 3-4 days, minute, pink ; liquefaction progresses slowly.
