ISOLATION OF MIMA AND HERELLEA FROM AN EXPERIMENTAL SPACE-FLIGHT DIET.

Abstract

Mima, Herellea, and other gram-negative, nonfermenting bacteria were isolated from samples of an experimental space-flight diet. Identification of these organisms was facilitated by the use of Sellers's differential agar. Although the source of these organisms was not determined, it is possible that the utensils used in preparing the diet were contaminated by the food handler. Mima and Herellea could not be recovered form the feces of subjects subsisting on this diet. (Author)
