The vapor thus pro- duced promptly expels the liquid from the capil- lary. The student should make suspensions and test one or more of the following' or- ganisms, according to the directions given above, Chol- era vibrio, Typhoid bacillus. Anthrax < bacillus (homogeneous cultv/re), Anthrax spores (p. 291) and Streptococcus pyogenes. Action of moist heat at 58°.—The capillary tubes should be with- drawn at the. end of 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes' exposure. Action of moist heat at 70°.—The capillary tubes are withdrawn at the end of 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes. In addition to this the anthrax spore tubes should be exposed for 15, 30 and 60 Fig. 75. Determination of tlie tiiermal death-point {F, G. N.)- Action of moist heat at 100°.—The capillary tubes are withdrawn at the end of 1, 2 and 3 minutes. Additional anthrax spore tubes are ex- posed for 5, 10 and 15 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Novy, Frederick George, 1864- .
