Improved motility medium.
An improved motility medium which permits additional cultural characterization is described. Advantages include maximal motility due to a change in the physical state of the medium from solid to liquid at incubation temperatures, a definitive stab line, preservation of the stab line with nonmotile organisms, and visual delineation of culture motility. In addition, nitrate reduction, nitrogen gas production, and gelatin liquefaction may be demonstrated.
