t; . - :,•■- -f - ?! . Research In Biology Blood agar plates and blood cultures are being made by Frank Koontz for the giowth and study of organism isolated fi-om the or- gans and tissues of normal and diseased in- dividuals. The purpose of this research is to devise a scheme to differentiate between the genera of bacteria isolated from normal and diseased tissues. These particular bac- teria are quite similar in their physiological and biochemical activities and thus are often incorrectly identified. The results of the blood agar plates and blood cultures will show whether the organism is capable ot hemolysing red blood cells and which type of hemolysis will be produced. This informa- tion will then aid in the identification of bacteria. BLOOD IS TRANSFERRED trom a test tube to plates. PARASITE LARVAE animal. injected into an e.xperiniental HEATED AGAR is being added to test plates.
