CLASSIFICATION OF DAIRY BACTERIA. 187 
Gelatine colony.—A round, thick, smooth, or contoured, auriculate colony, of 
a gray color. On ditmus gelatine a large surface colony is produced, strongly 
acid, and with a gas bubble. Resembles B. lactis aerogenes. In some cultures 
it is thinner and of the coli type. 
Gelatine stab.—A filiform growth, and an umbonate surface, with a bluish 
sheen over the surface. 
Agar streak.—Not luxuriant, linear, raised, smooth, gray. 
Fermentation tubes.—Acidity, gas, and closed arm growth in all three sugar 
bouillons. 
Bouillon.—A sediment, decided turbidity, and a flocculent pellicle. 
Milk.—Rendered acid and curdled at 37. No digestion, but a prominent 
odor. 
Potato.—Moderately luxuriant, thin, spreading, gray. 
Grows better at 20° than at 37°. Facultative anaerobic. 
Variety A differs from the above in the following points: 
Variety A. Size, tux .54. Flagellum very long. Gelatine stab, spreads 
from needle track below surface. Agar, luxuriant. Milk, curdled. 
Variety B. Size, 1.2ux .5u. Gelatine colony, thin, transparent. Not acid 
on litmus gelatine. No acidity nor gas in lactose or saccharose, but showing 
closed arm growth. Potato, growth thin, cream-white. 
These organisms are in nearly every respect identical with B. cok communis, 
except that they have one flagellum instead of many. This flagellum is very 
long and characteristic.
