Improved Enrichment and Isolation Procedures for Obtaining Pure Cultures of Beggiatoa

Sheril D Burton 1, John D Lee 1
PMCID: PMC242887  PMID: 16345286

Abstract

Scoring agar surfaces with alginate swabs before placing washed filaments of Beggiatoa on the agar has greatly increased the rate at which single filaments move from contaminated areas. Numerous morphological types of pure cultures have been grown in organic media supplemented with either catalase or reducing agents. Aerated sewage was used as the enrichment source.
