If anyacids are produced, the pres-. ence of air is required and they are readily obscured by the production of alkali (ammonia). It is not conspicuous as a reducer of litmus. Its reducing powers are variable. Occasionally some hydrogen sulphide is formed.

Cultures .S days old at room temperature. Figs, i and 2 contain crystals due to growth of organism in +15 agar Small dots are buried colonics; medium-sized faint colonies, as in the center of 2, are thin expansions of the same organism between agar and bottom of dish. These poured-plates were made directly from blackened vascular ring of a young shoot of collard shown in fig. 105 (at the point marked .t).
