Bacillus Megaterium

Bacillus megaterium - live bacterial culture

Cultures are supplied labelled, on agar slopes in screw top vials, and identified as being gram positive (+ve) or negative (-ve).

All bacteria cultures supplied have been selected for school use and checked for purity before dispatch by the producer. Although considered to be non-pathogenic, the possibility exists of mutation, accidental contamination, or over-sensitivity of an individual to a particular organism. It is therefore important that all cultures are viewed as being potentially dangerous and are handled and treated accordingly.

B.megaterium is a large rod shaped gram +ve bacteria up to 4um in length and 1.5um in diameter, making them ideal for morphology studies.
