For example, it docs not, atany stage of development, resist exposure to 3 per cent.

It is destroyed in ten minutes in some experi-ments, and in five in others, by a temperature of 55° C.;and when dried it loses its vitality, according to dif-ferent observers, in from thirty to forty days; all ofwhich speak directly against this being a spore-bearingbacillus. It is not motile, and does not therefore possessflagella. 380 BACTERIOLOGY. It grows readily on ordinary nutrient media at from25° to 38° C. Upon nutrient agar-agar, both with and withoutglycerin, it appears as a moist, opaque, glazed layer,with nothing characteristic about it. This is true bothfor smear-cultures and for single colonies. Its growth on gelatin is much less voluminous thanon media that can be kept at higher temperature, thoughit does grow on this me
