It is aerobic as well as anaerobic and grows in cultures some- times as long rods or curved threads. On gelatin plates the cultures form whitish, cloudy, very fine flakes with coarse granular centers, which spread out towards the periphery, into a delicate thready meshwork. More rarely they form bright shiny, branching small colonies, whereas in stabs pinhead sized, white points develop in 2 to 3 days which later fuse into grayish-white, cloudy colonies, from which fine horizontal radiating branches run in all directions of the gelatin (test tube-brush shape. Pig. 21). On agar and on blood serum the bacillus forms very fine punctiform, dew-drop- like colonies. Bouillon is made slightly cloudy, while latfer a fine, flaky sediment forms on the bottom of the Fig. 20. Bacilli of smne erysipelas. Smear prepared from blood of a Gram-eosin staining. Fig. 21. Gela- tin stab culture of swine ery- sipelas bacilli. Tenacity. The ery- sipelas bacilli manifest con- siderable resistance towards harmful influences, which they probably owe to a wax- like capsule (Schiitz & Voges). Drying kills them only gradually as they re- main alive when subjected to a temperature of 37°C. for 31, and to direct sun- light for 12 days (Sirena & Alessi). Heating to 70°C. destroys them in about 5 minutes. Pieces of meat not over 15 cm. thick require 2% hours boiling for a complete sterilization (Stadie). Putrefaction does not destroy the bacilli in meat in 4 months (Stadie). Salting and
