Extract

1. A study of the ability of pure cultures to reduce methylene blue and resazurin at 37·5° C., to reduce methylene blue at 22° C. and to cause milk spoilage as measured by precipitation with 68 % alcohol, and the clot-on-boiling test has revealed marked differences in behaviour between cultures.

2. At 37·5° C., with the exception of two cultures, there was good agreement between the time of reduction of methylene blue and resazurin. The two exceptions were a group B Streptococcus which reduced methylene blue but failed to reduce resazurin during the 9 hr. period of observation and an unclassified Streptococcus growing at 45° C. which reduced resazurin before methylene blue; the latter dye was found to retard the multiplication of the culture slightly.
