B. Gelatin colonies microscopically rather coarsely granular ; form beau- 



tiful regular packets.

Deutsche Archiv klin. Med., XLII, 1887. 



Morphology. Cocci on diflferent media as small, and not very regular packets. 

 Grow slowly, even at body temperatures. 



Gelatin colonies. Deep : round, gray, opaque. Surface : small, round, puncti- 

 form, yellowish white ; microscopically, round, entire, gray, opaque, be- 

 coming sunken in 2-3 weeks ; central colony lacerate. 



Gelatin stab. In depth, the growth is uniform, beaded, gray — yellowish gray; 

 on the surface, in 20 days, growth 2-3 mm., gray, roundish, lacerate, 

 soft, glistening, becoming sunken. 



Agar colonies. Deep: round, dark, granular. .Jar/at^; like gelatin colonies, 

 but whiter ; microscopically, round, bright — dark gray, granular. 



Agar slant. Growth limited, mealy, gray-white, translucent ; border undulate. 



Bouillon. Clear, granular sediment. 



Milk. Not coagulated.
