Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (0.5 – 1 µm long) except for a small number (less than 20%) of cyanophil forms.
Colony characteristics
- Large, eugonic, buff coloured and rough colonies (Löwenstein-Jensen medium at 30 °C).
- Cauliflower-like morphology, resembling M. tuberculosis colonies. Cord formation at the edges of colonies (Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 30 °C).
Physiology
- Rapid growth at 30 °C, but not at 37 °C, on Löwenstein-Jensen or Middlebrook 7H10 media.[1]
- Susceptible to ethambutol, rifampin and kanamycin.
- Resistant to isoniazid, pyrazinamide and streptomycin.
Differential characteristics
Pathogenesis
- Not known. Biosafety level 1.
Type strain
- Isolated from environmental sources in France and the former Czechoslovakia. Strain ATCC 35219 = CCUG 37584 = CIP 81.39 = DSM 44179 = JCM 6405.
gollark: Also, it probably doesn't do anything interesting.
gollark: I feel like if your bot can be generated without actually writing code yourself it isn't very good in the first place.
gollark: You can make a simple one using a shell script since those are run line by line and don't care about several megabytes of random binary on the end.
gollark: No, it probably would, self-extracting ZIPs exist.
gollark: So things will treat an image with a ZIP file on the end, mostly, as either an image with extra junk on the end, or a ZIP with extra junk at the start.
