Morphology.—Large bacilli with square or slightly rounded corners, from to 4 /i in length and about ^ broad; frequently associated in pairs; may grow out into straight or slightly curved filaments of from 5 to 15 /i in length. Biological Characters.—An an- aerobic, non-motile bacillus; not cultivated in nutrient gelatin; not observed to form spores. Bacillus cadaveris is a strict anae- robic and is difiicult to cultivate. I have succeeded best with nutrient agar containing five per cent of glycerin, removing the oxygen thoroughly by passing a stream of hydrogen through the liquefied me- dium. The colonies in a glycerin- Fio. cadaveris, from an anae- agar roll tube (containing hydrogen roblc culture in glycerin-agar. x 1,000. From and hermetically sealed) are opaque, a photomicrograph.
