mclovin Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hello, I have recently tested the air inside my house (3 hours exposition time) for bacteria,yeast/mold. The petri dish for yeast/ mold is a typical one. However, for the bacteria petri, there's a rather large colony growing, wich i suspect of being bacillus mycoides. If any1 can confirm this, or give me a hint on what you think it could be, i would appreciate it very much.

Elite Engineer Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 can you/ did you grow it on a particular growth medium to select that specific bacterium? Via wikipedia: when grown on a solid medium, the colonies resemble a spiral pattern...if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilGeis Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 There are schemes online - for example FDA's BAMm and file:///C:/Users/Phil/Downloads/identification_of_bacillus_species.pdf. Itlooks like mycoides - have you performed a Gram stain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
