Description:
This photograph depicts the colonial morphology displayed by Gram-negative Francisella tularensis bacteria, which was grown on a medium of modified Thayer-Martin (MTM) agar, for a 48 hour time period, at a temperature of 37�C. Take a look at PHIL 12444 and 12445, which depict the appearance of F. tularensis colonies grown on the same medium, and at the same temperature, but for half the time (24hr). Also see PHIL 12447, for the appearance of bacterial colonies, again, grown on the same medium, and at the same temperature, but for a greater time period (72hr). This bacterium is both an animal, and a human pathogen, and is responsible for causing the disease known as tularemia.
