Hi,
I'm a Bacteriology student working on an unknown experiment. We were to
isolate 2 unknown organisms and determine their identity down to Genus and
Species. I have had no problem getting the 2 organisms isolated and growing
successfully. Here is my problem....I did several Gram Stains on Organism B
and it is definitely Gram Negative, the rods are short but there are
endospores!! I did 2 endospore tests and my TA also concluded that I had
endospore formation. I didn't think Gram Negative bacteria could produce
endospores. My TA cannot give me any additional information because this is
an independent assignment. There is a list of possible organisms and my
unknown B doesn't fit any of these. Can anyone provide
suggestions/advice...I would greatly appreciate it =)
