    This inter-office memorandum reports on the bacteriological examination of rat liver and lung samples. The lung abscess sample contained small cocci that were morphologically similar to Arthrobacter but were determined to be a budding yeast through cultural and physiological tests. The liver sample originally identified as Arthrobacter did not test positive for several enzymes and grew differently in culture, leading the conclusion it was likely a member of the genus Sarcina.

    INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

    Svbject : Bacteriological Examination of Rat Liver Dote : July 8, 1969


    and Lung Samples . Part II .

    To : Dr . Seward A . Ridlon

    The lung abscess sample contained small cocci which were similar
    morphologically to Arthrobacter ; however, cultural and physiological
    tests indicated that this culture was most probably a budding yeast,no
    an Arthrobacter .

    The liver sample (Number IV, medium dosage level) was originally
    reported as an Arthrobacter . However, this culture did not produce ~
    urease, glucose isomerase and no growth was evident on potato agar . Thel
    cells are cocci and reproduce in packets, hence these are most probabl ~y
    a member of the Genus Sarcina .
