<i>Proteus vulgaris</i>

Fig. 73:1. Cultivation of Proteus vulgaris, strain SLV 476, on a blood agar plate for 24 h at 37°C. Arrows point to one area where a colony is beginning to form, however, the bacteria are quickly spreading out a on the agar surface, because P. vulgaris swarms. The lengths of the scale bars are equivalent to 1 cm. The right image is a magnification of a part of the left one. Arrows point to the same colony. Date: 2013-12-25.
