Comparison of selective media for the enumeration and identification of fecal streptococci from natural sources.

abstract：:We report a cinematographic analysis of culmination in fruiting bodies of Polysphondylium pallidum. During the final stages of aggregation, sorogen elongation is slow. An increase in the rate of sorogen elongation occurs when the growing stalk contacts the substratum, lifting the cell mass into the air. The elongation...
