Marine organisms; nitrites not produced from nitrates; starch hydrolyzed Flavobacteriuni -p. 309 Not as above possibly Erwinia p. 34.9 Note: Erwinia ananas, E. mangiferae, E. vitivora and E. milletiae terminate here. 57. Organisms found in the cytoplasm of the rhizopod Pelomyxa Bacteritmi* parapelomyxae p. 929 Note: This entry is valid only if the organism is motile. Not as above 58 58. Flagella polar Pseudonionas p. 89 Flagella peritrichous Paracolobactrum p. 346 (Anaerogenic strains) Note: (1) From published data the following organisms, if isolated from the soil, may terminate here: Agrobacterium rhizogenes, Erwinia amylovora, E. aroideae, Rhizohium leguminosarum , R. trifolii and R. phaseoli. In addition the following may also be listed if they prove to be lactose fer- menters: Achromobacter delicatulum, A. superficiale , Agrobacterium tumefa- ciens, Rhizobium meliloti and Erwinia salicis.

Small, ovoid coccobacilli causing pneumonia in sheep and cattle Pasteurella p. 395 Organisms which produce mucoid to cartilaginous colonies adherent to the medium; grow on meat infusion agar; colonies usually 1 mm in diameter in 24 hours but may enlarge on further incubation to 3 to 6 mm ; produce a granulated growth on the walls of the tube in liquid media; occur in necrotic lesions as granules resembling actino- mycotic granules in cases of actinobacillosis of cattle and joint ill of foals or in complicating actinomycotic infections. One species may be a commensal in the ali- mentary canal of solipeds Actinobacillus p. 4H Not as above 65 65. Fastidious organisms; do not grow on meat infusion agar in the absence of X-f actor on primary isolation under aerobic conditions but may be trained to grow without it; colonies on blood agar 0.5 mm in diameter but may be much larger on Levinthal agar; coccobacillary, arranged singl}% in short chains or in clumps Haemophilus p. 406 Species represented here cause bronchopneumonia of sheep {H. ovis), respiratory infection in mice {H. influenzae-murium) and endocarditis {H. aphrophilus) . Fastidious organisms; require blood or ascitic fluid; highly pleomorphic; rod -shaped
