Is this a joke ? or your homework ?
Eikenella corrodens (only one species) is an organism frequently
found in human abscesses. Cultivate on blood agar, CO2 or rather
anaerobically at 37øC. (Slightly fastidious)
Alteromonas had 20 species, but the genus has been totally
rearranged. A more-or-less marine organism. Cultivate on marine
agar or nutrient agar at 5-35øC
There is no bacterium called Metallogenium. (My database does
not cover other living creatures than bacteria).
Rahnella aquatilis is easily grown on nutrient agar at 25-35øC.
We have only examined a few strains from water, soil and urine.
Leuconostoc (used to consist of 16-18 species) and Weissella
are LAB. Cultivate on blood agar, CO2,microaerophilic,or
anaerobic at 25-37øC. (Some are slightly fastidious)

Surely this mixture is lyophilized. You should be able to revive
all components if you have media and conditions of incubation at
hand. It would have been much more of a thrill if you had to
isolate AND identify !
Good luck with your exam.

I'm a microbiology student who is having some difficulty in finding
information on media to isolate pure cultures for Eikenella,
Alteromonas, Metallogenium, Rahnella, & Leuconostoc from a mixed
culture. Any type of information such as journals, books, etc that I
could refer to would be of great help.
