MAXUAL OF DETERMINATIVE BACTERIOLOGY 



Indole not formed. 



Nitrites produced from nitrates. 



Traces of ammonia formed. 



Faint acidity from glucose . No action 

 on lactose or sucrose. 



Loeffier's blood serum not liquefied. 



No H2S formed. 



Aerobic, facultative. 



Optimum temperature 20° to 25°C. 



Source : Isolated from the skin of fishes. 

 Steinhaus (Jour. Bact., 4^, 1941, 771) 

 found a similar organism in the intestine 

 of a caterisillar. 



Habitat: Unknown. 



Appendix II: Among the following 

 species reported as Gram-positive are 

 many that appear to be similar to the 

 species listed at)Ove, while others may 

 belong to the so-called parasitic lacto- 

 bacilli of the intestine or even to Cory- 

 nebacterium. The majority have been 

 placed by their authors in genera other 

 than Bacterium.
