title: Some cultural characteristics of Branhamella ovis isolated from the conjunctival sac of sheep.
abstract: The colonial morphology and other cultural characteristics of Branhamella ovis were studied. The current investigation showed that colonies could be designated R (rough) and S (smooth) dependent on their appearance on agar. The colonial variants were apparently stable and each produced distinct types of pitting when grown on agar. A CAMP-like reaction was also shown to be a characteristic of B. ovis.
