-
A species, perhaps more properly referred to Bacterium, found upon starchy food stuffs (bread, rice, potatoes, etc.), and also in milk. It is not pathogenic, and has been recently employed in bacteriotherapy as an antagonist to the Bacillus anthracis. It produces a brilliant red pigment in agar, blood serum, potato, gelatin, and the surface of bouillon, and has a proteolytic enzyme which liquefies gelatin, blood serum, and the casein of milk.
