 Doudoroff, Jour. Bact., U, 1942, 451, 

 who obtained a culture so labeled which 

 had come from Prof. Kluyver's collec- 

 tion at Delft.) 



Photobacterium tuberosum Fischer.

 Migula, loc. cit., 1014; Photobacter 

 tuberculatum Beijerinck, Folia Micro- 

 biologica, Delft, 4, 1916, 15.) From sea 

 water. 



Pseudomonas toyameusis. (Quoted 

 from Harvey, Living Light, Princeton, 

 1940, 263.)

 Arch. f. Physiol., path. Chem. u. Mikr., 

 N.F., 6, 1853-54, 44; see Harvey, Living 

 Light, Princeton, 1940, 6.) From fish. 

 Possibly the same as Bacterium phos- 

 phoreum Molisch. 



42. Bacterium erythrogloeum Ruhland 

 and Grohmann. (Cent. f. Bakt., II 

 Abt., 61, 1924, 256.) From Greek erij- 

 thros, red and glota, glue. 



Rods : 0.5 b}- 2.0 microns. Non-motile. 

 Gram-negative. 



Gelatin plate: Red, droplet-like 

 colonies. 



Gelatin stab: No liquefaction. 



Agar plate: Red, droplet-like colonies. 



Agar slant: Raised, non-spreading, 

 glistening, brick-red growth. 



Potato: Abundant, brick-red, warty. 



Aerobic. 



Facultative autotroph. 



O.xidizes hydrogen in an inorganic 

 medium under an atmosphere of Ho, O2, 

 and CO2. Produces a pellicle on the 

 inorganic liciuid medium. 



Source: Calcareous soil. 



Habitat: Probably widely distributed 

 in soil. 



43. Bacterium lentulum Grohmann. 

 (Cent. f. Bakt., II Abt., 61, 1924, 256.) 



Rods : 0.5 by 1 to 2 microns. Motile by 

 long thin peril richous flagella. Gram- 

 negative. 



Gelatin plate: Colonies appear like 

 milk droplets. 



Gelatin stab: No liquefaction. 



Agar plate: Tough, ochre yellow col- 

 onies about 7 mm in diameter. 



Agar streak: Parchment -like, folded, 

 yellow streak about 1 cm broad. 



Potato: Heavy, yellow growth. 



Aerobic. 



Facultative autotroph. 



Oxidizes hydrogen in an inorganic 

 medium under an atmosphere of H2, O2, 

 and CO 2. Produces a heavy folded 

 pellicle on the inorganic liquid medium. 



Source: Soil poor in lime. 



Habitat: Probablj' widely distributed 

 in soil. 



44. Bacterium leucogloeum Ruhland 

 and Grohmann. (Cent. f. Bakt., II 

 \ht., 61, 1924, 256.) From Greek leukos, 

 white and glota, glue. 



Rods: 0.5 by 0.7 to 52 (?) microns. 

 Motile by means of peritrichous flagella. 



Gelatin stab: No liquefaction. 



Agar streak: Wide, slimy, wet, ivory- 

 colored growth. 



Potato: Gray-brown slime. 



Aerobic. 



Facultative autotroph. 



Oxidizes hydrogen in an inorganic 

 medium under an atmosphere of H2, O2,
