Priestia megaterium (Bacillus megaterium) in Nutrient Broth

Gram +ive Priestia megaterium, formerly known as Bacillus megaterium, is an extremely large gram positive, spore forming, rod shaped bacteria. B. megaterium is a soil organism which is mainly aerobic and found in widely diverse habitats. It produces lipase, protease and also PHB. Ideal for practical investigations into antibiotic efficacy. All Darwin's bacteria are derived from strains held by the British National Culture Collection (NCTC). These cultures are then sub-cultured before being applied to slopes and sold into schools and colleges across the UK. By sub-culturing we are able to supply quality bacteria at affordable prices. Our bacteria is a maximum of 4 passages away from the Culture Collection’s original. If you require fewer passages, or are purchasing for non-educational purposes, please purchase directly from the NCTC. Made by Darwin Biological in the UK under licence from the UK Health Security Agency, formerly Public Health England. NCTC is the trade mark of UKHSA. Supplied in a glass screw top universal bottle, this product contains 10ml of nutrient broth that has been inoculated with bacteria and incubated for 24 hours prior to dispatch. Because it is prepared fresh to order, a one day lead time is required before sending. *For educational purposes ONLY*
